RotJ Luke - Fabrics

This costume is basically a whole lot of black on black with a little gray accent. The black is soft and somewhat thick with a soft hand. The gray is hardy, but seems like it will wrinkle easily. I will definitely be interfacing it.

Dash - Fabrics

And finally, Dash's fabrics. He actually came to the store with me and picked out his own fabrics (with some guidance). The "fabric swatches" are copied from the websites. The colors actually don't look like these in real life, but they are an approximation. For instance, the charcoal knit is lighter and the natural cotton gauze is more yellow. They need better photographs.

Jax - Fabrics

I went down to JoAnn one Saturday and bought all the material for Jax's costume. All of the cotton/Sew Classic fabrics were on sale, which was perfect. Yardage will depend on your measurements. For best results, make your pattern pieces, lay them out, and from there measure how much you will need. Be sure to add some extra because you never know how much it will shrink in the wash. Always prewash your fabrics for anything you intend to use more than once!
