(I got this quote off a website, I'm unsure on the grammar/spelling of it.)
And a Jedi appreciates the seams in his clothes being bound with Bias tape. Because Jedi like to have nice finishes in their clothes.
That'd be the armhole of the outer shirt. I bound the armhole seams of both it at the white shirt today just before I did the binding on the center front.
Which involved two (well four actually, 2 of each colour) very long strips of fabric, joined at the center back collar of the shirt and then sewn down and around the front edges.
I used a hem gauge to make sure the fold was even all the way around while I pinned it. The white binding is half a centimeter longer then the brown to let the shirt show a bit above the edge. The white was 4.5 and the brown was 4. I probably could have gone bigger, but didn't want to over do it.
And here are the two shirts on a hanger, all that is left is to hem the sleeves and bottom. I tried it on, but being a girl and being the size that I am, this was many sizes too big for me and I looked like I was wearing giant poncho. :P
Tomorrow, (or) possibly later tonight, I'll make the belt and over sash and start on the outer robe.
