Today we have the counterpart to last week’s C-3PO costume post: R2-D2! I made it a few years back, when #1 was almost 4 years old. She wore it for 2 Halloweens, as well as a few parties, so by the time our son was ready to wear it (and we took all these photos), it had been dinged, dirtied, squished, bent, ripped and stepped on more than a few times.
Despite being right in the middle of the Rio SUMMER Olympics, we only have 2.5 months left to Halloween! That means it is time to start planning our 2017 Star Wars costumes! Before I get started on this year’s however, as promised, here is the instructions for #1’s C-3PO from last fall.

Today we are starting our Star Wars Rebels pixel patterns series.
Upon ADAMANT requests from #1, I made the patterns a couple of months back. Then we built all designs together …and I had to PROMISE we would have them all posted by the time the new season starts. Rumor has it season 3 will start in the fall, so we better get started if we are going to post all 12 patterns before then.
