DIY Hogwarts Cloak (Griffindor Version)

My Harry Potter feels are back. 

Maybe it's the season or my withdrawal syndrome from fantastic beasts movie.

I don't know but I am enjoying it. Oh, Happy 2017 my lovely readers~
Let's get started!

Materials: 

1. 2-3m of black coloured fabric
2. 2-3m of maroon coloured fabric
3. Sewing machine
4. Thread (black and maroon)
5. A pair of scissors
6. Ruler
7. Large pieces of paper

Creating the pattern:
I SWEAR I AM SO USELESS. I DO NOT HAVE MANY PICTURES. I AM SO SORRY!!!

1.  Copy from your favourite tshirt the front bodice and back bodice.
2. Widen lengthen and widen the sides to make it more flare out.
3. Back bodice will be on fold while the front bodice mark it X2.

 3. Create your own sleeve by copying it against the front and back bodice.

4. Roughly sketch a hoodie (use your coat or jacket as references)

Cutting the fabric:

Cut out all the patterns on both the maroon and black fabric.
You will end up with:

1.  2 pieces of Front Bodice- Maroon
2.  2 pieces of Front Bodice- Black
3. 1 piece of Back Bodice- Maroon
4. 1 piece of Back Bodice- Black
5. 2 pieces of Sleeve- Maroon
6. 2 pieces of Sleeve- Black
7. 2 pieces of Hoodie- Maroon
8. 2 pieces of Hoodie- Black

Assembling the pieces:

I started on the maroon pieces then the black pieces.

1. Sew the shoulders together.

2. Attach the sleeves to the armhole area.

3. Sew the side seam.

4. Attach the hoodie to the collar area. The final piece will be called Y.

5. Repeat step 1-4 using the black pieces.

6. Now we have to make the Y (maroon) be a lining to Y (black).

7. Sew the Y maroon to Y (black) with right sides facing each other along the hoodie area leaving the sleeves and hemline.

8. Turn the cloak inside out.

9. Hem the bottom and sleeves.

Final touch:

Print out Griffindor logo using transfer paper or sew the embroidery of the logo to the cloak.

End product:

Btw have you guys watched Fantastic Beast? I find it to be the best movie of 2016. Which movie is your most favourite for 2016? Also what movie are you most looking forward to? Anyways, I hope that this post will be useful for some harry potter fans out there.
OH, I may be posting another one if I am not feeling tired. HAHA.
Till then~  Stay happy and healthy!!!

Recommended Anime: Orange

I was prepared to get myself emotional and this anime has done it.

It is beautiful. Absolutely amazing!

I have yet to read the manga/ novel (I forgot if it was a novel or manga or both. HAHA). 

Maybe I will when the books are available again in Kinokuniya.

I am regretting so much for not buying the books when they were there! ARGH!!!
