General Madine's tunic pattern

[Luc Skywalker (Luc Massey)]

Hi, I'm sure I saw it sometime ago in this forum but I can't find it anymore...
Could someone tell me which pattern is used as a base to make the officer's tunic and pants? It's the last thing I need to make it. Thanks.

The tunic is actually very similar to the Endor Trooper vest (minus padded shoulder, pockets and bottom strip); it's just sewn up the front instead of being open.

Thanks Donna, I think that is what I saw in the Rebel Trooper section. Got the tutorial now. I guess you have an incoming PM.

Thank you Phyllis for those info. The strip of velcro for the front seems a great idea!
If anyone else have tips for this, please do share!

Here is a kinda step by step so far....I do intend to turn it into a tutorial at some point and post it at the Endor Bunker...

Lay Endor Commando front and back pattern adding a foot (in this case)







As noted...
For Crix...the collar in front comes up higher than the vest for the Commando...



The cap sleeve pocket dimensions that I chose..





For the pockets...
the flap was two layers of fabric
and the pocket itself was one layer with interfacing..



For the cap sleeve....I cut two layers of fabric for each sleeve and utilized interfacing on one cap for each sleeve...





Then sewed the pockets on (sew the top hem of the pocket first and press the sides and bottoms in)



sew pocket to sleeve (I straigtened out the pocket flap before I sewed them on....the wool crepe seems to get a bit "wonky")



For the neck lining and front yoke...had to make the yoke pieces longer...obviously...sewed the fronts to the neck lining...pressed and sewed the outer hem under ....





then sewed the fronts to the back at the top of the sleeve..





sewed in the first capped sleeve (still have to put the other in...lol...just wanted to see if it all lined up)



then started to sew in the neck facing and front yoke...taking care to add the velcro to the one side before you sew that side down the front...
it is just easier to do that before the yoke is attached..




Next was to clean up the armholes. Utilizing a strip of the wool fabric that was 2" wide and long enough to go around the bottom of the armhole from the front of the sleeve cap to the back....
I pressed the piece in half and sewed it with the raw edge of the fabric strip to the raw edge of the armhole on the OUTSIDE of the armhole..





After sewing a piece on each armhole, I pressed it to the inside and then stitched it in place.







Then I hemmed it on the bottom..

This is it done...





In looking at the completed piece, I am unsure if the front collar is raised high enough.

Where it is hanging low on the hangar, I think there still might be too much curve to the front of the jacket.

I don't have a S/M pattern. I just adjust the L/XL as needed.

I'll get one out to you for free if you promise to digitize it so people can download the vest pattern.

Don't you love it when our machines decide to "die" right in the middle of a project.

Your RotJ Officer looks fantastic, Phyllis! Great job.

I wasn't thinking of digitizing the entire sheet, but rather the cut out pieces.

And don't go to Kinkos/Fed Ex, they more than doubled the price for me to copy to large sheet so I only go to Staples for copies.

I finished it up and posted above in the step by step...

however...
I do still have one concern about my "rendition"..and that is the neckline in front..

on the hanger....it appears to be still too "scooped" even though I took a lot of that scoop/curve out of the front.

It is on the hanging down in the front on the hangar...so the neckline will indeed come up when worn...I am just not sure if will be enough...

well...
when Tom tries it on...we will see...

Looks awesome Phyllis! I'm looking forward to see pictures of someone wearing it.
What did you do/use for the pants?
