The costume itself was super easy. We bought black pants and a black zip up fleece and embellished them with fleece strips. Leah designed the graffiti strips herself trying hard to make it exactly match the Lego minifigure. There are a bunch on the front, a few on the back, then the sleeve, and the hood.
I hand stitched the strips on with matching thread and a big running stitch. Some of the places (sleeve, etc) were too fiddly to try and fit under the machine and this way the strips will be easily removable later. I won't lie - it took a good three or four hours to get them all stitched on.
The black sweatshirt we purchased didn't have a hood but Leah had previously crafted a black hood with a pink lining so we just popped that onto this sweatshirt.
She made a cardboard 'relic detector' so she can pretend to the looking for the 'Piece of Resistance'. :)
Overall a pretty simple costume and she loves it.
But, come on, really -
who wouldn't want to be a cool ninja Lego girl who saves the realm?!
