So, for Valentine’s Day, I decided I wanted to make a gift that appropriately conveyed the message, “I love you, but not enough to change my serger threads.” So I decided to make a bunch of travel bags for our groups lightsabers out of leftover fabric from skating costumes. Certainly not a high budget endeavor here, but enough effort such that our group’s hilts won’t be scuffing each other up during transport – we give them enough rough treatment in battle!
Construction was super simple – I folded an edge over and used my coverstitch machine to keep it down, then I serged the sides closed. I couldn’t be bothered to change threads, especially since I’ll need white for my next sudoku item!
We usually take the blades out before storing the hilts – hopefully this will prevent a lot of the dings and scratches that happen when the hilts roll around in the bag!
Oh, and I made some gluten-free almond flour scones too! Because maybe I like people a bit more than my lack of attention to serger thread detail would suggest. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Cookies!!! Oh, and the lightsabre hilts are very cool! Great idea to keep them from being scratched…
