Step 2 – Make the shirt.
If you haven’t noticed Jedi’s LOVE their V necks. Everything they wear has that shape of neckline.
So we’re going to tweak this t-shirt so it fits in with the Jedi look.
Simply snip a slit from the center of the neckline on the t-shirt down about 3 to 4 inches.
Fold in the sides to form the V. Tack down the folds with a few stitches on your sewing machine ( or if you’re in a hurry you can even glue it).
Step 3 – Sew the Jedi Robe
Fold out the the piece of cloth so it is flat. Using a rotary cutter ruler and mat, cut a slit on one side from the center of the fabric to the neck line to make the front opening.
Center the sleeves to the neck line and pin in place on either side.
Sew onto main body of robe using a .5 inch seam allowance.
Fold robe in half so the sleeves meet up and the sides meet up. Pin and then sew together using a .5 seam allowance.
Step 4 – Add the Hood to the Robe
Pin the out edge of the hood pieces together.
Sew using a .5 inch seam allowance.

Step 5 – Sew the vest
Pin the back of the vest together to the round neckline. Sew together using a .5 inch seam allowance. That’s it. The sides are open and the vest is held in place with the waistband.
