Travel Poncho - Star Wars, Unproduced Doll Line
I came across photos of unproduced outfits meant for the Princess Leia doll from the 70s. They totally tickled me - particularly her poncho outfit! I decided to eventually make several of them for fun, and started with my favourite.

Construction Notes: I found this horrid fabric on the sale rack at Hancocks. I made a pattern out of newsprint, then used it to make the actual poncho. I interfaced the whole thing, but ran out of interfacing after doing one side, and couldn't find the same thickness to use for the other side... so one side is a tad bit droopier than the other. Oops! Ha. I added the hood, and the trim.

I just wore jeans with it, and I had the boots and binoculars.
