It all started with a Star wars blue lightsaber, then I decided it was time to make a couple more as I had a few different handles I wanted to try, first up is a light green one.
There also a dark green and mini light green Star Wars lightsaber pattern available.

To Assemble
- Stuff the handle and the light beam, sew the light beam to the handle. You could also place a cardboard tube into the light beam and handle to make them both stronger and less flexible.
- Sew on the grey band to the top of the lightsaber
- Sew on the yellow/gold band on the yellow/gold section
I am really glad these have worked out well so far and following these successes I still want to make a few more – I’ve already got the next one in mind!
Love this one too. It had to do a double take on the terms as I thought you meant US terms and I got confused.It would be one funny looking saber, I think I need to have another cup of tea to wake me up haha.

Thank you, sorry for the confusion – all my patterns are in UK terms. I’ve done that before with patterns and not realised the terms were in US and not UK – only once I got halfway through I realised something wasn’t quite right!

Not a problem. I’m so used to seeing US terms it’s nice to see someone using UK terms online 🙂
