Homemade Tauntaun Bag (Sleeping Bag Mod)

Step 4 Give the old bag a facelift

Covering the bag was the easiest as far as the sewing was concerned.

Secure the flannel to the inside first and only sew the long edges with zippers, not the top and bottom. To keep the inside bag from shifting around too much, we stitched lines across the bag in several places, securing it to the flannel.

The next step is to cover the outside with the fleece which has previously been adorned with body parts. Again, only sew along the long zippered edges and this will be different than the flannel. In order to get the best coverage, make sure there is a 1/4" overlap over the zipper. This will fully cover the surface and still allow the zipper to operate. It also makes it insanely easier to sew.

Now you can sew the bottom together, like the sides, creating enough room for the zipper.

Finally you can sew the top together and attach the already complete tauntaun head. Fold the flannel into the fleece, note the same overlap in the picture. I didn't find it necessary to attach either layer to the bag underneath at this point. Just make sure the head looks good when you put it on. Then sew on the tail, however is easiest for you.
