Basic Fantasy Cloak
This pattern is very simple indeed.
Materials:-
- 4 yards of 60 inch wide
fabric.
- Cotton.
- About 5 ft of cord to act=
as
a drawstring.
Tools:-
- Chalk for marking out.
- scissors.
- Pins.
- Sewing machine. (Or a nee=
dle
if you don't have access to one).

Take the fabric and hem all the way up both sides. Now sew over about 2
inches at the top to form a tube that will take the draw string around your
neck.
Now comes the fun part, feeding the drawstring through the tube. The cla=
ssic
method of doing this is to fasten a safety pin to one end of the chord and =
to
work it through slowly. A much quicker way is to take a length of glass fibre rod (former for making weapons), bamboo pole or=
any
other long straight object and slide this through the tube. Now stick the c=
hord
to the end of the rod with a length of sticky tape and pull it back through.
Okay so its not the classic method but its a lot quicker and saves a lot of
frustration trying to work it through with a safety pin.
Now gather the material up around the neck until you have a nice fit (ke=
ep
trying the cloak on until it's right). Once you have a good fit put a small=
stitch
in at either end of the drawstring to stop it slipping and hold it fast. Now
tie the cloak up and cut off any access chord leaving a bit more that you t=
hink
in case the ends fray a bit.
Unless you are quite tall the cloak will probably be too long. The final
stage is to cut the cloak to length. I have found the best length to be just
above mid calf. Anything longer tends to catch on things and drag along the
ground. Stand upright with the cloak on and mark off a point just above your
mid calf (its a lot easier to get a friend to do this but if you are on you=
own
you will have to do it by trial and error). Once you have got the length ri=
ght
mark across about 1 inch below this point, cut off the excess and sew up the
bottom hem. Some people round off the two bottom corners as well but this is
really a matter of choice.
