The creation of the shirt
I found an old shirt up in the attic that had just the right color for this costume, so since no one else was going to use it, I started modifying it to a Grave Tusken shirt. Unfortunately all the sewing machines available back then were old and didn't work properly, so making this shirt was somewhat hard at times, but eventually I managed to finish it with my new machines.
Most of the collar of the shirt was removed to turn it into a simple round collar, then the fabric from an old T-shirt was used as lining inside the shirt.

Now my Grave Tusken shirt is finally completed after being on hold for many years because none of my old sewing machines worked very well, but my new sewing machines could finish it off nicely and made it look just like a Grave Tusken shirt. Feel free to use any ideas from this tutorial, and good luck sewing your own Grave Tusken shirt.

The arms of the original shirt had seams running down the front and back of each arm, so this was also replicated on mine along with the crossing leather strips at the elbows.
Thicker fabric was used as lining inside the arms.

After I got a couple of new sewing machines, the crossing leather strips could be neatly sewn onto the shirt elbows.
The sides of the shirt were also sewn in to make it look as tight as the original shirt from the Jedi Knight video game.
