Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.
Let us assume for a moment, that you have totally taken leave of your senses.
Good. (Let us also assume that for a few of you, that wasn't difficult?)
So, having waved good bye to your better judgment, you find that you really want to make a Yoda backpack.
You are momentarily confused.
Yet, you find yourself thinking back to the last time you saw The Empire Strikes Back, and recall Luke running through Dagobaean swamps with a green Muppet on his back, said Muppet riding in a little blue bag. And you think, "Woah, cool, how tough could it be to make one?"
Thank you for taking that journey for me. Now, tell me, how would you make one?
That's what I'm considering undertaking lately. I'm currently trying ("Do, or do not, there is no try." "Thank you Yoda, butt out, please.") to decide if I want the bag to open where Yoda and the bag meet, or if it would be better to have a drawstring that opens at Yoda's neck.
Also, stuffed head? If I don't stuff the body, that could be incredibly silly, but if I stuff the body and the head, that could be sort of heavy.
I've already got all the measurements, taken from scaling movie screenshots (not hard if you know how tall Mark Hamill is, which, sadly, I do). Now, I'm just working out construction details, and once I work out how I want to do it, I'll price it.
There are days that I wish I'd taken Patterning in college.
