This most recent wardrobe addition ( Sith Red Obi, Tabards & Belt Sash w/black trim) is my very 1st attempt to actually "use" my sewing machine and it took me several day to complete... ...I have a new found appreciation and infinite level of respect for those who design/create, sew & tailor for a living! Made a few minor mistakes along the way that I'll correct the next time due to a helluva learning curve using a sewing machine. The next project will be an inversion of this one consisting of: Black Obi, Tabards & Belt Sash w/ Sith Red trim. I gotta recharge my batteries a 'lil before embarking on that journey, though (whew)! Give me some collective feedback regarding your thoughts on this project. May The Force Be With You All!

I haven't sat at a machine in years and I agree it's not as easy as it looks. Great job!!!!

That's pretty sick for a first try, damn. I'd like to check out your resource you used to teach yourself if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks Samhain!!! I used Simplicity pattern #5840 (pictured below) as inspiration w/a few minor Obi (width, closures, trim) & Tabards (trim) adjustments to my final version(s). I'm working up the nerve to attempt the pictured black cloak because I'll need to alter the hood to a more SW style. I made the Belt Sash pattern from scratch inspired by Savage Opress' (pictured below) wardrobe. Savage Opress was once a common Nightbrother whose fighting prowess impressed Asajj Ventress. Transformed into a monstrous warrior by Mother Talzin, Opress became Count Dooku's new assassin and secret Sith apprentice.

As promised earlier, here is a new photo (Black Obi, Tabards & Belt Sash w/ Sith Red trim) of my most recent wardrobe addition in a continued attempt to design/sew for the very 1st time "ever". Give me feedback regarding your collective thoughts on the pictured inversion(s) below. I'll post more pics wearing black pants & tunic with these Black Tabards/Obi/Sash soon for a point of reference to see which you collectively prefer. May The Force Be With You All!

Here is the "Fade to Black" version w/an additional more sinister background added that most wanted to see...interested in getting your feedback on this one. Soon I'll put up the "Wrath of Red" version to illustrate the all red Sith look to complete most of the wardrobe variations up to this juncture. I should have my inverted custom Sith cloaks by December in time for "The Force Awakens". Will keep you all posted on that project. May The Force Be With You All!

Thanks for the point, BigBear!!! It's greatly appreciated as I hope my minor design/sewing achievement(s) can be an inspiration to others to attempt to develop the unique wardrobe of their own individual characters as well by focusing on the attention to detail. May The Force Be With You!

Here is the promised looks of "Wrath of Red" along with "Fade to Black" and my completed mix-and-match Sith collection. Now that you've seen them all sans cloaks, let me know what you think of all the variations. With some level of trepidation due to my lack of sewing inexperience, I'm currently working on the cloaks and hoping The Force will be with me in this endeavor as well.

The red with black accents reminds me of the Royal Guard. The black with the red accents looks magnificent! and magnificently Sith! well done!
A black cloak lined in red would look amazing with this. Points for you.

Thanks so much for the DS point and Sith compliments, Roband!!! It is my duty & honor to represent the Order of The Sith in grand fashion! Brilliant call on the Royal Guard twist as it did not initially come to mind during the design phase...hope you don't mind if I somehow integrate that into my ongoing character's developing canon. I started working on the cloak but decided instead to alter the project in the direction of a "hooded mantle" as I'm thinking I really don't want to completely cover this wardrobe with a cloak after spending months on the head-to-toe creative direction. I simply want to integrate a hood to cover the back of my Sith-inspired half mask & goggles. With that in mind, I'm focusing on sewing a Red version and Black version of the hooded mantle to tuck "under" the tunic rendering the Tabards and Obi exposed while allowing the hood to remain fully functional. This should complete my wardrobe and still allow the original desired quest to create mix-and-match Red/Black options.

Here is the Black Hooded Mantle (Red version forthcoming) I finished in lieu of a full cloak. For the record, I'm wearing the mantle "under" my tunic exposing only the hood to avoid covering my tabards.My mix-and-match Sith wardrobe is now complete and I will spend some time meditating on all that I have learned during my 1st ever sewing lesson. Thank you all for your feedback, support & suggestions!!! May The Force Be With You All!
