Well, the Star Wars love isn’t going away any time soon.\u00a0 In fact the Force is only getting stronger.\u00a0\u00a0 Owen pulls out his Jedi robe<\/a> daily (because one must look like a Jedi to jump and feel like a Jedi on the trampoline).
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSo I’ve had a series of Star Wars shirts in-mind to share for Celebrate the BOY<\/a>.\u00a0 And I started with Chewbacca<\/a>, beloved Wookie and best side-kick ever?\u00a0 Totally!<\/p>\n

For a little inspiration I Google imaged “Chewbacca art” and many cool images popped up:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen I peeked at a project I pinned a year ago by Draw Pilgrim<\/a>…a sweet Chewie softie toy<\/a> (free pattern download).\u00a0 Isn’t he delightful?!\u00a0 And THEN I was overjoyed when I looked in the CTB Flickr group<\/a> last night….and Laura from Behind the Hedgegrow<\/a> had made her own version<\/a>! with super furry cool fabric.
\n\"\"<\/a> Wookie is in the air.
\nSo I channeled the love and came up with my own version.\u00a0 The Chewie Shirt:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd I totally love it!\u00a0 It’s weird, soft, and the best part is….Owen really, really loves it too.\u00a0 Kid endorsement is the best compliment.<\/p>\n

I originally wanted to use crazy fur like Laura<\/a> did above.\u00a0 But I worried that on a shirt, it might not wear or wash well so I went with a super soft terry-cloth minky from Joann Fabrics….the same type of fabric used for Owen’s House Robe<\/a> the other day:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen I grabbed felt scraps and got busy:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nYou’re basically sewing the Chewie head like a softie toy but without the stuffing.\u00a0 I used simple cotton fabric for the back of the head so he wouldn’t be too poofy on the shirt.\u00a0 And if you were making it with knit fabric you could leave the edges raw without a backing.\u00a0 But this fabric frays like crazy, so I needed to seal all the edges of his head.\u00a0 So….
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBe careful as you sew that you’re ONLY sewing Chewie to the front of the shirt!\u00a0 Just work slowly and pull the back of the shirt away as you go. And you’re done!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe shirt timing was perfect for pajama day at school on Thursday, since he of course wanted to wear his Star Wars pjs (rather than the Big Stick jammies<\/a>).
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSo we threw on the Chewbacca shirt, Star Wars Jammie pants, I couldn’t resist this favorite pair of Star Wars undies,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nand when he put on his backpack I just started laughing.\u00a0 It honestly never dawned on me that the jammies and backpack were the same fabric!…which is funny since the fabric is from Joanns and the backpack is Old Navy.<\/p>\n

Just like that he was totally geeked out.
\nWith, yes, his lightsaber in his backpack for a playdate after school.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHave a great weekend!\u00a0 Come back on Monday for one more Celebrate the BOY prjoect.
\nAnd go see what Rae’s<\/a> up to today…
