Film Petit: Napoleon Dynamite


....present friggin' Film Petit. Gosh.



It's a good thing Hendrix was in a very foul mood for photos. His new anti-pictures stance is very Napoleon. 



Rex has always been one of my very favorite parts of this movie. I love everything about him. "Fugit about it!"





I think I'll just fill this post with Rex gifs. No one would object to that, right?




"You're gonna learn to discipline your image. You think I got where I am today by dressing like Peter Pan over here?"

As hysterical as the roundhouse kick pants would have been, the kids needed summer play clothes. So Hendrix got the racer shorts version. I'm sure he could still roundhouse things in these though. I got to use a new pattern that will be released soon from Dana! It's a great pattern, for girls and boys with lots of options. Keep an eye on Dana for its release. I used Lizzy House's Constellations fabric and Riley Blake chevrons from Sewn Studio





 Elsie's kind of Kip from the waist down and Napoleon from the waist up. I made her shorts using Dana's same upcoming pattern and a very nice Robert Kaufman denim. So nice to sew with. I even put lion/ tiger fabric on the pocket linings, but forgot to take a picture!





So, we're pretty much friends by now right? So you got my back and everything right?


On my freezer-paper stenciled shirt, I changed the horse to a llama in honor of Tina. It's so quietly weird. Kinda like the movie. Even though it's not exactly cool anymore to go around dropping ND quotes, they are still just as hilarious as ever. I love it.






Whoa you guys: to see how the pros do it, you have to spend some quality time with our beautiful guest Delia Creates today. WHOA. She is the one who made that awesome intro banner for us too- amazing!! She made THE perfect Napoleon pants, plus hilarious tees and an adorable little Pedro outfit.  And to top it off, she took pictures at the real setting of the movie! Delia has seriously been the sweetest most patient guest ever. Thank you for everything girl!  Go now, it's friggin sweet. 


And Kristin perfectly recreated one of the most hilariously awkward scenes in any movie, let alone this one. Her little Deb and Rico are ADORABLE. See it at Skirt as Top




So that wraps up another edition of Film Petit. You can catch up on past installments here... I'm gonna go practice my sweet dance moves.

  14. so glad this made it in NP the mix...I definitely could see a round house kick to the face in those bad boys! When I first saw you went with Rex I wondered if Elsie would somehow be Starla, but the half Kip half Napoleon is better. Love this month again!

  22. Hi Jessica! I met you at Sewn Studio the other day. I'm the one from Grand Rapids that was drilling Julie about her awesome Studio. I stopped by to check out your blog and all I can say is I wish I had known I was in the presence of such awesomeness! You are one heck of a talented lady! I am drooling over all your sewing goodies...AH-MAZ-ing! I am now following you on bloglovin and I am looking forward to seeing more of your awesomeness...hint,hint! :)

  23. Whhhatttt? It's not cool to quote ND anymore? Poop! I guess we are really unhip around our house, because I think one of us says, "my lips hurt real bad" at least once week. Love that movie!
