Extracting hydrogen from a star

How could you feasibly extract hydrogen from a star to power a plasma fusion reactor, with as little handwavium as possible? This takes place in a sci-fi setting, but isn't necessarily hard science. The more realistic it is, the better, but don't feel afraid to stretch physics a bit. The hydrogen would be collected by large colony ships, so size of extraction hardware isn't much of an issue.
