if u have a spotlight near you simplicity pattern 8944 is the on we used.

 

There's a McCalls pattern called "Space Nomads"; with a little modification you can make a really authentic looking costume. I'll look up the pattern number for you when I get home.

 

Thanks to you both for your reponses. What type of material did you use?

 

The proper stuff is cheesecloth.

 

Edit: Bad info!

I used an old blanket for my rug and cut it out. My mum wasnt too happy though. That or you can always use heavy cotton.

 

i cant remember what i used but its brown lol

 

Cheesecloth is for the tunic, isn't it Kalor?

 

go to www.padawansguide.com for ideas

oblio

 

I used a really rough cheesecloth for the tunic and brown suede/velour type stuff for the robe (don't know the technical term). I couldn't find much that was heavier and you're talking a huge price jump for bying heavy cloak material. Still, People at a convention I wore it to said it was one of the more authentic costumes they'd seen.

Still haven't got that pattern number sorry....
