Luke Skywalker Costume

I've convinced my 4 year old to be Luke Skywalker for Halloween. His big brother is going to be Darth Vader. :) (I really wanted him to be R2D2 - but he wouldn't go for it).

We are going to make the costume, and we plan to make him the X-Wing Fighter pilot Luke... with the orange jumpsuit and pilot gear. I'm confident that I can make all the stuff to go on the jumpsuit, but I don't know how to sew, so I'm not sure about the jumpsuit.

My question - Mom's who sew, how hard is it to make a jumpsuit? Should I just go looking for orange sweatpants and long sleeve t-shirt for him to wear under.

There are lots of resources for getting the details right online... I just need help with the jumpsuit.

Thanks!
J.

Save yourself the headache and just do the orange sweats. It'll look just as cute once you get all the other gear on him.

I sew a little. It isn't just about getting details right that you would find online, but thread tension, not getting it all jumbled up in the machine, having a small enough seam allowance, dealing with broken needles, being able to make a straight line... I would go with the sweatsuit... or buy a jumpsuit and dye it orange. I would not learn to sew on a project like this :)

The orange sweats will be fine, dye some if you can't find orange ones. How cute, Darth and Luke! : )
