You love Star Wars. You even have some dolls...err...toys...err...action figures. (Though your lightsaber counts as a toy). But you've never actually made anything representing your devotion to the sci-fi series. Stitchbird, the monthly DIY crafting workshop, is holding a Star Wars-inspired workshop in honor of its current Stitch Wars exhibit, a display of handmade Lukes, Leias, Darths, and Chewies. Materials will be available to make not only a fashion statement, but also a statement about whether your loyalties lie with the Empire or the Rebels. These things matter.
