Husband Sacrifices ‘Star Wars’ Sheets So His Wife Could Make These Awesome Clothes

star-wars-bedsheets-dress

Jennifer Vetere’s husband Robert sacrificed his old Star Wars bedsheets so she could make them something awesome to wear to The Force Awakens premiere. This is only the second dress Jennifer has ever made and it’s the first time she’s ever put a zipper into anything.

Plus, he got a really sweet Boba Fett bowling shirt out of the deal. This back panel is actually from one of the pillow cases.

As it turns out, Robert gave the sheets to Jennifer a full year before she did anything with them. She was too scared to touch them for awhile!

Optimus Prime + The TARDIS = Awesome.

tardis-transformer-1

I love Transformers. I love Doctor Who.  So, what’s not to love about a 3-D printed, actual working/transforming Tardimus Prime??!! Seriously.  What’s not to love? Inspired by Jason Casteel’s TARDIS Prime artwork, user Ellindsey designed and created this 3-D printed realization, and it actually transforms.  What’s even cooler is you can find Ellindsey’s CAD files and instructions for building your own. Oh, for a 3-D printer.  Even you don’t have one, you should definitely check out the link for the additional pictures.  Transform and roll out!

Whoa, DUDE! This Rug is Awesome, Man!

dude rug

Okay, so I’m going to either scare or offend some of the regular “Geek Crafts” readers: I have not seen The Big Lebowski. It’s okay, take a couple of deep breaths. I think I can still get us through this post responsibly.

Etsy seller Olde Tyme Notions, of San Francisco, is selling just ONE Dude latch hook rug for $800.

This is Olde Tyme Notion’s own design (taking more than 200 hours to create), and it was made with 19 colors of acrylic yarn, giving The Dude the depth of a photograph. The rug measures 36″ x 30″.

Awesome Minecraft Illustration

Minecraft Birthday

Check out this superb Minecraft-inspired birthday card illustration, drawn by Tori for her boyfriend, Iggy, last month.

It’s Iggy, returning home to Tori after a hard day’s digging, in a very boxy world! I think this is seriously cute. While this image isn’t featured on her blog yet, you can keep an eye on Tori’s illustrations at IllustrateTor.wordpress.com.
