Gingerbread AT-AT from Star Wars. Good, Bad & Desperately Unfortunate Attempts from Around the Web

I tried a mini gingerbread house two Christmases ago. I didn't even have to bake the thing, just stick it together with icing. It was HORRENDOUS. I ended up with a pile of collapsed biscuit covered in runny icing. I couldn't manage it at all, which means even the worst of these attempts at creating a Star Wars AT-AT from gingerbread is a thousand times better than what I could come up with.

Ewok Cushions from Gertrude Anna

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Well seven years ago in Belfast, I worked in a magical, little ,quirky fashion boutique called Liberty Blue. One of my coworkers was Timmy White, now the guy behind the twee brand Gertrude Anna.

Timmy lives in Scotland now and handmakes all sorts of bits and pieces from retro fabrics, including duvet covers you may remember if you're an 80s child.

He also specialises in interior design for small businesses, and costume design. A bit of a Jack of all trades with a sewing machine.
