Murlin may be our little Ewok [1], but Morgana Le Fur is our scraggly, wiry, rescue dog Yoda.  So of course I had to make a Yoda costume for her--those whispy hairs, those ears!

She thoroughly enjoyed being rubbed with the green hair chalk, but wasn't so impressed with my plan when I went to take her picture, so you don't get the full effect of just how awesomely Yoda-like her ears are.  But when I'm not pointing a camera at her, she looked perfect!

To make the costume, I used cream knit fabric, twine, and a glue gun.  You could certainly sew this, but I was looking for an easy project that could be done in a flash, and it's way easier for me to pull out the glue gun than the sewing machine.

I cut a general kimono kind of shape out of the knit fabric.  The fabric is folded at the top of the kimono, on the top edge of the sleeve.  I just notched out a bit at the center for the neck hole and cut up the center front with a pair of scissors.  

I also cut two longer, narrow strips of the same fabric to create the effect of a cowl on the robe.

I used my glue gun to glue the seams together, then turned the robe inside out.  Finally, I glued the two longer strips of fabric to the edge of the robe, attaching it so that it stayed folded and bunched together.  A twine belt finished the ensemble.

Morgana looked adorable, but was not interested in having her picture taken.

I was promised belly rubs if I did this.

And treats.

Seriously, mom.

Belly rubs!  Lots of belly rubs!
