DIY Star Wars Pet Costume: Princess Lelea.
I finished the costume for Pepito, aka Ewok, and now it was time to dress up my dog Lele.
She really looks like Yoda, but she is a girl, so she had to be princess Lea.
I started making her hair, using the leftovers from my husband's ripped brown shirt (that I used on Pepito's costume).
By rolling the pieces of fabric, it made thicker to make the hair bun, using hot glue to attach it well.
Then I started rolling on the other direction to make the bun, still using the hot glue.
I left one piece longer, to make the middle part of the hair, and glued the other bun to the opposite end.
I sewed in the middle to make the hair division.
To make her dress, I cut a white T-shirt, on the length of her legs.
I used little pieces of plush to make the arms, and glued in place.
Next I folded the sleeves to cover the arms, still using hot glue.
Finally I made a belt in paper and glued to the dress.
I know we dressed her up for our own amusement.
But I assure you it only took a few seconds.
And soon she was free to go sit in her favorite spot.

Star Wars Pets : Pepito Ewok.
My little friend Pepito and his mom Pilar came to visit us again, and since last time we saw him, we have been saying how great he would look as a Ewok.
Now that he is here again, we couldn't miss the opportunity.
To make his costume, I used honey color plush (leftover from the hamburger bean bag), and I cut this shape (measuring in his body).
Next I sewed the legs.
To make the arms the pieces were cut like this (making sure the dimensions were proportional to his body).
Then I used the sewing machine to close the arms.
To stuff the arms, I used pieces of the same fabric.
And I attached both arms.
Then two pieces to tie the costume behind his neck.
To make his weapon, I had a thick skewer, that was glued to the hand. The edge of the weapon was made of paper.
To make the head piece and the "scarf", I cut my husband's brown T-shirt.
The last thing was go for the photo shoot.
I know he couldn't care less about these pictures or the costume...
...but he is so cute I couldn't resist.
The photo session last for about 60 seconds.
But Pepito got kisses and belly rubs for much longer.

Pretty Zucchini Tart.
I had to make a dish for my vegetarian guest, and when I saw that zucchini looking at me at the refrigerator, I knew what was my next adventure.
I remember seeing in an Italian website called Buona Pappa, and they have this beautiful pie with little roses on top, that I assumed were vegetables. So I tried to make it, as best as I could..
I had some carrots from my garden and they looked very appealing.
So used my vegetable peeler to get some slices of carrots.
Next I used the mandolin to slice my zucchini (it ended up to be 1 yellow and 2 green- large zucchinis).
I couldn't roll up the vegetables like in Buona Pappa.so I decided to bake them in the oven at 400 F (200 Celsius) for 8 minutes.
Next I opened a Pillsbury pie dough in a pie dish.
Beat 2 eggs with 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Poured in the dough.
Baked at 370 F (187 C) for 8 minutes.
And started to roll the slices of baked zuchinni to place on the pie.
And a few carrots to spread some color.
Some salt and pepper, sprayed olive oil and baked at 400 F (or 200 C) for 15 minutes.
The whole process took me about 3 hours. And it was approved by everyone.
And I liked so much that I made another one.
Thank you Buona Pappa.
