Do you ever feel like you are living in a copy of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?” I do. All the time, except this time the title was, “If you give your daughter Star Wars Cereal.” Basically she is going to need a light saber to go with it. If you give her a light saber, she is going to need a Jedi costume. If you make her a Jedi costume, she is going to want to play Star Wars. If you let her play Star Wars, she is going to get hungry and need some Star Wars Cereal. Lucky for me, a Jedi costume is REALLY easy to pull together and I had all the stuff on hand.
No-Sew Jedi Costume
 |
| The cereal that started it all. 😉 |
You will need:
- A long piece of tan knit fabric, Measure from your child’s shoulder to their knee and then double it. and add a couple of inches. That is how long your fabric needs to be. I just let my robe be the natural width of the fabric.
- Scissors
Cut the extra couple inches off the end of your fabric, this will end up being the belt for the tunic. Set it aside. Fold the fabric in half.
Cut a small triangle out of the fold. Start with a small triangle and go bigger if you have to. Knit stretches like crazy and so a small triangle will be more than enough.
Pull the fabric over your child’s head and use the couple of inches of fabric to belt it at the waist. If you child has long hair, pull all of their hair up and leave a section down and braid it. If they have short hair, you can always buy a strand of fake hair at the craft store and attach it to a clip for a easy braid.

We love Star Wars! That is very cute.
So cute. I love how Star Wars is making a comeback. I remember when the first one came out.
Lol…I love the If you Give a Mouse a Cookie reference! And what a cute costume!
This is so cute and resourceful! She looks adorable as a jedi. Love her hair.
How cute! I grew up with Star Wars and this would have been the perfect costume!
Wow- you are so talented! I would have been getting out a pattern, pulling my hair out because I'm not an amazing seamstress, and it wouldn't end up looking nearly as cute as yours– and yours is easy! Thanks for the fab idea!
My son would be all over this! He LOVES Star Wars. I need you talent to make this outfit and that cereal I am going to have to get for him!
What an adorable Jedi! My grandson loves Star War and he has many Star Wars costumes, but not this one. I'll have to buy the cereal and make him this Jedi costume – I'll be Nana of the year!
Ahh your daughter looks adorable as a jedi!!! 😀
This is my kind of costume! I'm not the best at getting costumes together, or really crafting in general, so something only needing fabric and scissors? Sign me up!

I just showed this to my daughter & she is begging me to make her one. Thankfully it doesn't require too much skill!
We are a Star Wars family!! Filing this away for future use!
This is so great! My husband would love it if I made this for our daughter. He loves Star Wars!
This costume is awesome! And that fact that it's no-sew makes it even better!

This is so awesome! I love the idea!!
Clever to use knit fabric. It curls so you don't even need to sew seams
This is so awesome! I LOVE that it is no sew because I can't sew!
Very cute and so easy to make! I know my nephews would love this. Their whole family is into Star Wars. I'll have to make this for his birthday coming up.
How I wish I had this no-sew Jedi costume when I was growing up. This appeals to the star wars fan that is me!! 🙂
So stinking cute!! Pinning and saving for Halloween!
What a cute costume! I love it!
What a cute costume idea! I bet she is having a great time with it!
I love anything no sew. It's not that I can't, but I just don't have time or the space that I used to have. Cute costume.
Great costume idea. And I love that it is no sew!
How cute! Sounds so easy and looks like the real deal!
This is such a cute idea! I love that it's no sew. My 5 yr old is already begging for one!
