Hello Readers. I am reposting this sweatshirt from 2017 in honor of Star Wars Day/May the Fourth Be With You/Revenge of the Sith/May 6th. If none of this is familiar to you it's all part of being a kid from the 80's who really loved Han Solo.
I loved this Darth Vader shirt. He is supposed to be so evil but really he just wants to share freshly baked cookies with everyone. How bad could he be if he has cookies for everyone? I am going to have to rethink my opinion of him.
Before and after.
This shirt got hit with some bleach and it is looking a little worse for wear. Darth Vader is fine but he needs a new home.
I had this nice gray sweatshirt with black trim just hanging on my
refashion rack. I could put these two shirts together couldn't I?
I cut the cute picture off the bleach stained T-shirt. After looking at
it I decided to round the corners of the picture and make it smaller.
I wanted to stitch the picture onto the sweatshirt. I didn't want the
fabric to move or pucker. To prevent that I pinned the picture onto the
sweatshirt and then I basted the picture with a needle and thread to
keep it even more secure.
I used my machine to attach the picture to the sweatshirt and tried to
sew slowly so I didn't mess the whole project up. (Darth is counting on
me.)
The cashier liked this kinder gentler version of Darth Vader too.
I am happy to say that the fabric and my sewing machine got along well
and it turned out well. It isn't dressy or super sophisticated but
sometimes a mom needs a sweatshirt. I even
stopped at Starbucks for a latte. (Stereotypical suburban mom.)
