Can u do a tutorial 62 inches long
Would a couple wearing cloaks daily delve into creepy valley?
Excuse me miss, but how do I know how wide to make this? I’m chubby and not sure if this will effect how it will look.
As a non-native english speaker that’s used to the metric system, the whole measuring sections of this were... an experience.
yeah...yards 0-0
@@questioningeverything6174 even here in canada where we use metric fabric is measured in yards. seems pretty international
BeezTrollin oh I only knew it was used in America I'm from the Netherlands and we just use meters, cm and mm
Yeah, we were supposed to switch over to the metric system in the 90’s so I remember them drilling it into our heads as a kid. But they never changed over so it must have been too costly to change everything I guess.
It's frustrating, most tutorials are like that.
I hate wearing coats and jackets, but I'm totally down to confuse my coworkers and the employees at the local Walmart by rolling in in a hand embroidered cloak.
p o w e r m o v e
As someone who is currently hand embroidering a baby blanket for a friend, let me suggest that you make sure you have enough time on your hands before you start the embroidery process.
Double power move: have multiple cloaks in different styles and colors for when you wanna really shake things up
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I work at Walmart and am currently deciding to do the same thing
I've made quite a few capes/cloaks over the years, most of them lined.. I woudn't suggest sewing the lining to the outer fabric on the hem, yes it's faster, but different fabrics stretch at different rates and it's very likely you'll have problems with it after a short bit of use, or especially if you ever need to wash it. Better practice is to sew the front sides together, hem the lining and outer fabric separately, and make the lining a bit shorter so if it stretches it doesn't show. You can tack the two pieces together in a few places around the hem so it doesn't get all turned inside out, but don't do it tightly, use a little piece of woven tape or a thread chain that's 1-2 inches long so there's wiggle room for the stretch. The way described here is fine for a costume, but for every day use or hard repeated reenactment use do it the right way first to save yourself having the rip out that bottom seam later.
Great advise, thanks!
As a beginner, I really appreciate your advise! Makes so much sense!
Emily Lindstrom
I wish I’d seen this comment before I had made that exact mistake and ended up cutting the bottom seams
Thanks for the advice
Hello Emily I know it has been 2 years since you posted this so the chance of a response is slim, but I am a beginner at sewing, and I cant quite understand what you are saying on how to fix the problem. I understand the issue of them being sewn at the hem. I just cant seem to get what you are saying on how to fix it.
I've never tailored anything before but I wanted to make my husband a cloak for his birthday. I followed your instructions but used only one layer of heather grey fleece and I'm so excited to give it to him! Thank you so much! What would have cost over $120 retail for the finished product only cost me $35 in fabric because I caught a 50% off sale! He's wanted one for years and is going to be thrilled.
Raven486 just curious how he liked it
you can't just leave us hanging raven did he like the cloak
Raven please we must know it's been 2 years
Please raven, did he like it???
@@casswade2000 maybe he didn't like it and they are now divorced.
Or maybe she's busy making a cloak for each week of the year in different colors and fabrics.
I tried doing this with heavy duty trash bags at work, it was raining heavily that day and I had forgotten to bring my jacket. I only needed to walk about 3 blocks, so without basic knowledge and shapes that I needed, it didn't come out as cool as I had hoped but it worked pretty well lol. I may or may not be using this video as a reference on how to make a new one lol
....... just be a man and put the damn trash bag on you're head rather than doing all that mess

*Me, a teen who hasn't sewn anything with a machine, or sewn anything at all:* I wanna make that!!
You can do it!
Been trying to find an easy, followable, and understandable cloak pattern for a while. This is it. Totally making it
Great! Let us know how it comes out :)
I just finished making this cloak for the renfest this weekend, and I really don't think I will be taking this off ever. This cloak is who I am now.
LOVE THIS! Happy we could help!
I just used this tutorial to make a cloak for a Raven cosplay! My first big sewing project - and it turned out fantastic!
Happy to help!
don't know why im watching this its currently 2:34 in the morning and i have recently discovered cloaks
I know they are amazing and even though I have HORRIBLE anxiety I am thinking about wearing cloaks just around like why aren’t cloaks a normal article of clothing
Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that my dad was good in math class.
Clara, that was a great tutorial- thank you so much!! No unnecessary chatter; clear concise instructions, and the music was not blaring in my ears drowning out your instructions. I've subscribed ❤🤩
Thanks so much for this thorough video! I just finished my cloak for a renaissance festival and it came out great and I learned a ton! I wish there was an easy way to post a picture. My hood ended up being absolutely massive, I think because I cut a larger neck hole and that made the whole hood bigger (6" instead of 5 like in the video - I'm a 6' tall guy so I thought I'd need bigger) - but it's still cool. Mine took all weekend because I'm new to sewing and I also made it more complicated than it had to be by making the hood liner out of faux fur that wraps over the edge a couple inches to make a furry hood rim, and I added a strip of fur down each of the front edges, but I'm thrilled with it.
I’ve just finished a red crushed velvet cape for my granddaughter (Little Red Riding Hood) using your instructions. They were spot on and the cape is fabulous - thank you so much 💖
I make one that's 4 sections (2 mirrored) and it creates just the best majestic flow when walking. Love it
Just a heads up for beginners: if you are making a short length cloak, i.e. if the width of your fabric is not near equal to the length you desire, do not use this method. You will end up with an oblong rectangle and not a square which geometrically cannot be folded to the appropriate size triangle for cutting. You can follow along up until she folds it width-wise. It is very similar to making a circle skirt for your neck, but you only want half a circle skirt for the half circle. Found out the hard way and nearly thought I'd wasted my only fabric I had before the Renaissance festival. Amazing tutorial otherwise!
i know this comment is super old but thank you!! i too panicked because halloween is days away and the fabric i’m using was a gift LOL thank you thank you! ;v;
Excellent narration and detailed explanation with very helpful mini graphics. I find that this is by far the easiest sewing instruction video to follow. Thank you.
I can finally become the mage I was meant to be
I love this for you
Thank you very much for this great tutorial! A black cloak can be used for so many things that I'm going to give it a try myself. I'm thinking about using wool, hair canvas or fusible interfacing, and black chintz for the lining. Wish me luck finding all the materials!
Your video is very clear and easy to follow. The extra graphics are very helpful as well. By luck, this cloak is just what we want to make. Thank you for your effort :]
Perfectly explained and demonstrated ~Thanks !
I used this to make a childs play cape.
hi, i'm brazillian and not fluence. I would like to thank you for the link provided in the video description, as it helped me better understand the step by step.
Thanks! This was very clear and exactly what I needed to make capes for my granddaughters for Christmas!
You're very welcome, glad we could help :)
Get a king size flat sheet from Goodwill or any thrift shop. Dye any color you want. Great practice project that doesn’t cost much. Use an iron transfer pencil to trace an image to iron on the back. Embroider or trace image with permanent markers. My grandkids loved this project.
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCHH!!!! Wanted to make this for so long!!! But luckily i have come across your turorial. .. never knew that these are so easy to make!!! You tutorial is very precise and focused. U are a perfect teacher . THANKYOU
This was absolutely perfect. The cloak came out amazing and it was really easy to follow because we are the same height
I Know that this is an old video...but I just used it this weekend to sew a warm cloak for the Renaissance Festival. And it was very helpful. I had bought a pattern a couple of years ago, but this is way easier.
Happy to help!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video and provide instructions. Very helpful.
You're welcome, glad we could help :)
i'm going for the grim reaper aesthetic in my everyday life
update: i'm currently making a small cloak for my cat (don't ask) so i can try this out without using up much fabric and when i'm finished i'll make one for my self. I'll let you know how it went
How did it go?
Tell me the cats cloak is epic!
omg thank you so much! i needed this for my vampire TOdoroki cosplay...i couldn't find any tutorials so you seriously saved my life since the con is in 9 days..heh
Glad I could help!
this tutorial is nothing like the others- it;s mire detailed and easy to follow- thank you!
I find it easy to use an actual pattern, there are so many. I usually have 4 panels for the outside and 4 panels for the lining. I've also made my fair share of cloaks.
Lmao I used to wear a cloak in middle school too... I was relentlessly bullied. Cloak squad!
You go girl!!! More power to you! I LOVE wearing cloaks!
if its a sticky up hooded cloak then it s a cloak , if its flat hood then it s a cape, and I am very attracted to both. Well done and keep it up!
I made a red cloak using this guide for my moms Pomeranian so she could be little red riding hood this Halloween
I'm going to make a jacket with an attachable cloak, hope this tutorial works ^^
Thanks for another great tutorial! I love your videos and find them very clear and easy to follow.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful :)
I’ve been planning on making this for about 7 months and I finally have everything I need to make it except for my outer fabric that’s coming in the mail tomorrow and I didn’t realize that I ordered it from Online Fabric Store 😂
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! (... and the cloack too, jejeje)
I really liked your video. Totally can’t see, it runs in the family too. I don’t know what it is.. i truly admire ya! It’s threading and cutting part lol 😭😭😭😭and then you have do everything inside out with extra inches omg lol but I watch my mom make cool curtains and stuff my whole life..❤️ Talent
Thank you for the math outline lol that’s honestly super helpful
ok did any of y’all do this as a kid when you just grab ur blanket and wrap it around ur self-
Beautiful. I loved it
Awesome tutorial! Very helpful and straightforward. If you want the cape to not cover your entire front and be a tad open, would skipping cutting the 2 extra pieces to make it a 3/4th circle work or would it look odd? Thank you!
Great video. Any possible way I would be able to add sleeves to this pattern?
I'm making a názghoul cosplay and this helped a lot, thank you!
Glad I could help!
Is there any way you guys can create a video tutorial on how to make a hoodie sweater like the EvianxRad collaboration oversized hoodies they made. They dont sell them and I cant find them anywhere so i want a make one now. Is there any way you guys could make that come true?❤
Have a cloak i got from wish that's too small and isn't warm enough for the winter, I'm here to learn how to make myself one that'll work.
Best of luck!
how would i measure if i wanted to add sleeves to the cloak?
Me and my friend want to make this so we can ride our horses in the English saddle and dress up our horses to!!
This tutorial was perfect! Thank you so much! I managed to modify it a bit and make my dog a set of fancy Hufflepuff robes for Halloween. 🎃⚡
OMG if you get the chance please send us a picture (Media@onlinefabricstore.net) That is amazing.
@@onlinefabricstore Will do! 😉
Im gonna make one of these and make it out of curtains and my only colors im allowing myself to use are black and white, this will be fun.
I dont understand does the total length mean how long it's gonna be at the end or the total length of the fabric
Thanks for making this!
I used this! Super helpful for coming up with my own way to do it :)
Fantastic!
Do you have any tips on how to make it with a 4 foot train and a standing collar? Like a tall Mandarin collar?
So I’m a dummy and cut the fabric without doubling the total length. Is there anyway I can come back from this ??
I love it. It looks so cool!!!
Thank you!
*high five for normalizing cloak wearing*
very helpful
thank you
So dope!
How easy would it be to embellish this with see on rhinestones and little sequins all over?
BTS cloak :>
I'll try to make one once I get the materials. Thank for the tutorial
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Oooo army
I want my own one so badly! Omgg and I broke my sawing machine yesterday😂 idk how ppl in my town would react if they have seen me in one, but I wouldn’t care i guess. Maybe for first time, but I just want cloak since I was like 9 or 10. I wanted to be elf and wear those beautiful dresses and tiaras. Anyway, I just need to fix that machine 😂
Wait, I'm so confused about sewing the outer fabric of the hood to the cape part. How do you sew the very beginning and end part with out sewing over the lining bit?
Hi Julia, I don’t remember this being an issue at all. You can pull both the hood and main body linings away from the outer fabric so the linings have right sides facing too and start to sew at the seam between the lining and outer fabric. Since the linings aren’t sewn together yet, it’s easy to do the same thing at the end. It’s hard to explain but I think it will make sense once you’re doing it!
Is their a way to add holes for sleeves in this cloak? This is exactly what I want mine to look like but I mine needs sleeves.
You could cut slits in the seams at the shoulders and add sleeves there. We don't have specifics since we haven't tried this, but that should work. Add the sleeves to the outer fabric and lining before sewing them together. Leave extra length in the sleeves to hem. Good luck!
I saw some instructions where the hood had a round neckline instead of straight. If I would make a cloak with the same hood but with the round neckline, would that chance the falling of the hood?
A hood with a round neckline should work well as long as the length of the neckline of the hood and cloak are the same. But if they're not, you can always put a couple pleats in the one that is longer so they match up.
Thank you for making this great video!! 🙄☺👌👍💙
You're very welcome :)
Awesome video.
does anybody knew where i can learn how to make furry facial prostetics? like not exactly a mask, but stuff to stick on ones face.
Awesome I love this
You tell us to measure “twice the total length and cut” but I still have no idea how long the side that gets cut should be. Is it a square? It’s hard to know because of the perspective, but are both sides equal in length?
So I was stuck on this same part for like..... 2 hours trying to figure out how to fold it right. after watching the video carefully 3 dozen times I finally saw that the fabric was not a perfect square. When she finishes her cut 2:54 you can see the fabric is not all the way to the bottom. So pretty much you pick the side you want , and fold the side right too it with the neck side at a point. One end of the fabric had an overhang of about 5 inches for me. As long as you can make the semi circle to the length you need , you will be fine.
I have been looking for a way to make these for a while but my husband and I are larger / plus size and would still like a lot of drape in the cloak is there a formula for making it bigger around
Hi Julie, This cloak would be easy to make more full! The cloak in the video is 3/4 of a circle but you could do a full circle instead by cutting out 2 half circles. Or if you use the method for longer cloaks, just keep cutting out additional pieces until you have enough for a full circle. For the fabric amount you will need 4x the length of the cloak plus an extra yard for the hood. For the longer cloak method, you may need another extra yard. The hood would be made in the same way as in the video. Good luck!
my girlfriend is making a cape and she is wondering if to add extra buttons down the front to stop the wind from getting under it. Do you think that would work? she has added armholes but still, pron for the wind to get under it.
Yes! That would be a great addition!
You go girl.
Was this heavy with both fabrics and also is there another fabric similar to the twill that has a sheen to it?
Yes, this cloak was fairly heavy with the twill and satin fabric. Peachskin and bengaline are lighter weight than the twill and have a sheen without being super shiny. Habutae is a popular lightweight lining fabric.
Peachskin: www.onlinefabricstore.net/product-group-peachskin.aspx
Bengaline: www.onlinefabricstore.net/product-group-bengaline.aspx
Habutai: www.onlinefabricstore.net/product-group-habotai.aspx
I know this is an old video, but what if I only have half of the yards of fabric. So instead of 5 total I have more like 3. Will it just be shorter?
Is it 5 yards TOTAL plus hood? Or 5 for the outside, 5 for the inside, plus the 1 for the hood?
Amazing, thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Greetings all. OFS, what material would you recommend for Luke Skywalker the force awakens cloak. I've made 3 so far from this video, I can't seem to find any material I like and can only get it 40/42" wide so I end up with lots and lots of sections as I am about 5'10" tall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Absolutely, we have options that are at least 54” wide. The fabric that looks most like the cloak is natural linen: www.onlinefabricstore.net/natural-irish-linen-fabric-.htm
Since linen is pricey, here’s some alternatives:www.onlinefabricstore.net/5-oz-khaki-poly-cotton-poplin-fabric-.htmwww.onlinefabricstore.net/natural-cotton-poly-danish-linen-fabric-.htmwww.onlinefabricstore.net/63-inch-single-fill-7-oz-duck-fabric-.htmwww.onlinefabricstore.net/premier-prints-linen-natural-fabric-.htmwww.onlinefabricstore.net/antique-natural-milestone-twill-fabric-.htmwww.onlinefabricstore.net/khaki-cotton-twill-fabric-.htmwww.onlinefabricstore.net/khaki-poly-cotton-twill-fabric-.htm
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
I am considering a couple of magnets instead of a hook-and-eye to close the cloak at the neck... what's your opinion on this?
Hi Chase, I think that would work well. One magnet like this may be fine, but since the cloak is pretty heavy, you may want to use 2 to be safe. www.onlinefabricstore.net/dritz-2-magnetic-snaps-3-4-inch-.htm
I need itttt
So my cloak size will be 54 inches with the seam + neckline already included. The material I’m purchasing is 44 inches wide, how would I cut that out? 54 multiplied 3 is 162 inches. I’m terrible with math and very confused.
Love this! Thank you!
Question, for a larger person is the measuring the same for the yardage? Total length×3÷12÷3?
Generally yes, plus an extra yard for wiggle room when cutting pieces out and have enough for the hood. Keep in mind, the larger the length measurement, the narrower the pieces will be, so it's possible you may want 2 extra pieces to make it more full. If this is the case, multiply by 4 instead of 3. Also if your fabric is less than 60" wide, then pieces will come out smaller and you may need more pieces to get it full enough. You can find the diagram for larger cloaks here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-hooded-cloak-with-a-lining/
Good luck!
Is it times 3 in Cm too when figuring out how much msbric you'll need?
Yes, multiply the centimeters by 3.
I used proper cloak pattern Mccalls costumes to make my cat cloak
i have sew the hood by hand
What are the settings on your machine ? I.e. what stitch/length etc. I am new and learning.
This is just a regular straight stitch, probably 00 on your machine. I would use around a 2.5 stitch length or whatever your machine defaults to.
te quedo hermosa ,en español por favor.
So I’m about to finish making this cloak... not sure what I did wrong but the lining is longer then the outer fabric and the ends of the bottoms don’t match up.I would recommend that peeps rather cut the fabric from either the inner or outer and then trance that on to the other fabric. ESP to get the edges at the bottom too meet or maybe I just messed it up... but hey gave it a shot. Not too bad.
I’m planning to do this, but I don’t have a sewing machine. Hopefully it’ll turn out okay! Lol
Sarah Howell that Love Olympus pic tho! Also good luck with the cloak
Look on craigslist or ask around. I've sold sewing machines for $10-$20. Some ppl might also just let you borrow or have 1. Otherwise, sewing by hand takes a lot longer, but it should turn out the same. Best of luck
You can do it! Even without a sewing machine, you can sew it by hand. I did it by hand, it took a while, but it worked.
If I want to make this a full circle cloak, would I just repeat the first step and sew up the back seam?
Yes! That sounds right.
Muy bonito el tutorial y todo, pero soy la unica que le estresa la cantidad de tela que desperdicia? Muchas gracias por la ayuda.
Does the allowance for the neckline change with length? I'm only 5'1"..... on a good day.
So, you should be fine!
Great video
What are your strategies for keeping the hood on? I have a satin lined cloak that I'm wearing that slides off my head. I have thought about double sided tape and combs but I don't want them to ruin my hair. Any ideas?
Good question! The satin is very slippery. Unfortunately we couldn't think of a good solution for this either. If you do find something that works, we'd love to hear!
Haven't tried it myself, but I've heard from others that you can stick a piece of Velcro to the bottom of the hood then stick that to your hair and it'll stay in place without ruining much of anything
Some people attach a comb hairslide to the hood so it fixes to your hair very securely. Or you could curl back the hood like when you roll your sleeves up.
Alternative ideas, saw some loops of cord to the top inner edge and use a couple of hairclips.
nice job! so cool ~~
Thanks!
Is there a way to make the cloak reversible? Or double sided? I would want to make one side using reflective material and the other side just black, idk if that would be possible
Hi Ruben, The way this cloak is constructed is actually already reversible! The only thing is you might have to change the closure a bit.
OnlineFabricStore.net so in this way if I want to switch sides I can flip it the other way and change it? Would buttons work as closures since it’d be double sided?
That's right. If you did a buttonhole on one edge and a button on both sides of the other edge, that would work.
this halloween I’m gonna be using a black cloak and a scary mask. And yes I’m still in school but it’s actually fun being around people. So that’s going to be my costume. Also my class is doing a haunted house in our classroom for the other grades to experience, we’re gonna be scaring them. I can’t wait. Lol
If your total length in yards is 6 and you said you need both of the lining and the outer fabric does that mean you would need 12 yards? (6 for lining and 6 for outer)
Yes, you will need 6 yards of each
I am going to make this for my 6 year old. I want a 22" cloak from collarbone to her mid-calf or so. That means I need 2.4 yards (84") of fabric plus some for the hood. I have about 74". Do you think 1. I should make the neckline measurement smaller as it is for a child? and 2. It is mentioned that for a child's cloak you can use narrower fabric...how narrow? I'm hoping that I can squeeze a cloak out of the fabric I have with perhaps some adjustments to the measurements...thoughts? Thanks!
Hi Amy, the fabric should be at least 28" wide. Depending how much wider your fabric is, you might be able to fit the 2 smaller pieces in the leftovers from the half circle. If not, the half circle may be full enough since the 3/4 circle is very full. If you this, you would definitely have enough, including the hood. Yes, you can do the neckline smaller, between 3 and 4 inches instead of 5. You can subtract the difference, so the overall length would be 1 to 2 inches shorter. Good luck!
