Thanks, I can now start my cult👍👍💀💀
What color cloaks will the group be getting? ;)
@@GuidingBoltGaming 100% transparent obviously so that nobody will know
@@elwan_so that's why I've been feeling more over bearing dread then usual
That's how I ended up here too :,)
Bahahaha 😈😂
I am a beginner when it comes to sewing...this was easy to follow and create. Thank you for taking your time and explaining the "why" you cut things the way their cut. Knowing the "why" helps me tremendously as I can't always see it in my head.
I'm so happy to hear this was easy to follow. Thank you for dropping the comment to let us know :)

Shame if you're a woman. Atleast you started.

My 10 year old grandson was able to follow your directions and make his cloak all by himself! Excellent directions and pictures! Thank you!
This right here is why I love to do this. Thank you for sharing.
Cloaks need to make a comeback!!
I'm on board!
Absolutely
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just finished making a green rangers apprentice cloak and a charcoal Gryffindor cloak for the book week parade. You’ve made two young readers very happy!
This makes my heart happy! They're lucky to have someone like you who encourages and supports them like this
I am glad you ACTUALLY discussed purchasing the fabric based on height and body size. I just saw a video where all the viewers praised the girl making the cloak, but without proper sizing many will end up with a cloak that is to short, too long or too baggy for their shoulder width.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found our video thorough and helpful. Have fun making your cloak!
A White Soap bar works well to trace and washes out easily.
Great tip. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this, last minute request by my daughter (as is tradition) and I sewed up a nice cloak for her in no time.
Haha, at least you know it's coming. Great job on the last minute solution.
Thank you so much for this, my boyfriend and i are making cloaks this winter and this is definitely the simplest and easiest to follow tutorial and i feel much more confident and excited to make them :-)
Fantastic. Glad to hear! Enjoy making and wearing your cloaks.
So easy to make, the instructions were crystal clear! I've made 4 of these for my friends and I (we're Lord of the Rings + Hobbit fans) and they were so happy :) Thank you for this awesome video!
Wow, that is awesome and you're a wonderful friend. Cheers to another Lotr fan!
Farewell, wherever you fare till your eyries receive you at the journey's end! ;)
Thank you so much for this easy tutorial! My daughter wanted a cloak for her and a friend for a game they play. We didn’t have time to go get fleece fabric so we ended up using two fleece blankets and just made it mid calf length. Worked great! And was cheaper than buying by the yard. Plus it gave me an opportunity to teach my daughter how to use the sewing machine. Win win!
What a great project to work on together. I bet your daughter loves her cloak!
This was a great tutorial! It was very easy to follow for the "sorta beginner" sewer. I made my son an Obi Wan Kenobi cloak for Halloween...he LOVED it. Thank you so much!!
That's wonderful! What a fun costume
Thank you very much. As my first sewing project I am making a cloak. This really helped as it was simple and easy for me to adjust to my needs and didn’t require me to know everything already! Thank you very much or this video. I hope your son liked his cloak :)
Thank you for leaving this feedback. I'm so glad to hear it was simple and easy to follow. My son was a happy little Hobbit for Halloween :) I hope you enjoy your cloak too.
This video is amazing! Loved the cloak fastener too! Added them to my two previous cloaks and they work great. The new cloak with the cloak fastener works really well. Thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Enjoy your cloaks
Thank you. I have made far too many full length lined woolen cloaks to count. Having a great, quick, serviceable option is awesome.
That's awesome. Glad you found our video for a quick and easy option now, too!
Thank you so much, your tutorial is a lifesaver! Been con crunching, and this was super easy to follow and build, and not only that, but now I also understand the theory behind a half circle cloak!
Awesome! Enjoy con season
Fabulous. At first it sounds intimidating and you think, "I couldnt never do this," but after a moment, you go, "oh i get it! I could definitely do this!" Thank you for sharing.
Happy to hear our video was easy and helpful!
Thankyou :) I think outside the box and live in a small area with a few homeless. I could see this as a fleece with a lining for a somewhat warm fall wrap up at night time and warmth when the wind is chillly.
What a wonderful idea
Thank you so much for this super simple cloak tutorial video! I made one last night and it came out perfectly! I'll use this video for all my future cloaks!
You're welcome. Thank you for the comment and enjoy your cloak!
Thank you so much! This took me about 20 minutes (not including time for the glue to dry)! It looks amazing!
Awesome, well done!
Thank you for all your patience to slow things down and explain the whys and how’s! Amazing teaching and I get it now! Thank you! Of course I subscribed you speak my language!
Appreciate the subscribe. Have a lovely day!
I Never sewed anything in my life before and wanted a cloak for Halloween, it was so easy! Very good tutorial thank you so much. I’ll definitely sew more now it was so much fun!
That's wonderful. Great job trying something new.
This was a fantastic tutorial! I am not crafty at all but really wanted to make my son a hobbit cloak- and this was so helpful. It turned out great - thanks!!
Well done. I bet I love he loves!
Accidentally only bought half the fleece I needed, so I made a short cloak instead and it’s still super cute! Great tutorial.
I bet that is super cute still!
Thank you so much! I followed this tutorial and made a cloak that I'm very excited about! It was my very first sewing project in my adult life! (One of my friend's parents was very kind to help me.) We used a fabric that frayed and was able to just sew a hem around the edges and then used pinking scissors for the seams along the top and back of the hood on the inside instead of using the bias tape.
I will say the measure of collarbone to anklebone made the cloak slightly shorter than I would have liked; it went above my ankles once it was all complete - my bad for not testing before cutting. It also lays slightly longer in the front than it does in the back while wearing.
Congrats on making you're first cloak :)
@@GuidingBoltGaming Thank you for the tutorial! It was really helpful; we wouldn't have been able to make it without this!
Perfect tutorial - I used as a guide to make my adult sons a LOTR costume. Very helpful for hood design.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad our tutorial was so helpful. I bet they're going to love their cloaks!
This will be so fun and easy for me and my boyfriend to do together. Im doing most of the costume construction for the ren fair but I think he will love his cloak even more if he gets to help make it!
What a fun project to do together! Have fun at the Ren Fair
😊😊😊😊great tutorial, it was so easy to follow! my cloak turned out great. i did not have a clip for the closure so i created a channel around the neckline to feed cording through so i could tie it closed (this method worked well with heavy material)
Thank you for the feedback. That's a great idea for the tie. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tutorial, gonna use this method to make a floor lenght fux fur cloak and hood for a Christmas/ winter wonderland photoshoot 😊
Wow. Very nice. Have fun!
This is the best and clearest sewing/craft instructional video I’ve ever seen! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Enjoy your cloak
Made the cloak tonight - so quick and easy. Being able to pause on the diagrams was especially helpful. Thank you again! It turned out great!
Your explanations are as clear as day, thank you for this tutorial !
Appreciate the feedback. Have a great day!
I just wanna say ur hood looks the best out of every cloak video I've seen yet. Cool!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video, I'm in the process of making a cloak and I'm really excited about it. I have very little sowing practice but I feel like this is something I can do and I think it will look really cool for my costume. Thank you for making this so easy to follow
This is a perfect project for those who are jus beginning to sew! Enjoy the process and have fun with your costume.
@@GuidingBoltGaming this is pretty late, but I made the cape and I absolutely love it. It looks awesome and it was so beginner friendly. I'm a part of a theater program, and thanks to this video, we were able to make 23 capes for our actors. I just wanted to thank you for making this video, it was a huge life saver.
Beautifully explained. So detailed. Thoroughly enjoyed. ❤
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you very, very much for this tutorial. Everything turned out to be just perfect!
Great to hear!
You’re a great stepmom! Just being like oh sure I’ll make you a cloak without thinking twice is amazing.
It brings me joy :)
This was amazing. I will definitely be trying this out once i get some fabric.
So glad to hear! Have fun making your cloak
Hi i am a designer.. The one learning.. I had a project to make... But after seeing a lot of cape videos, yours was really easy understanding.. Cause I have only 5 hours to stitch both gown n cloak.. So thank you so much this tutorial. Helped a lot.. And you gained a subscriber too😊
Happy to hear our video was easy to follow. Thanks for the sub!
Thank you soooo much for this video! I was able to easily make a cloak for my daughter with your instructions!!! ☺️☺️
Happy to hear. I bet she's going to love it!
I made one of these today because of your help! Thank you so much!!!
You're very welcome
Thank you so very much! Easy, precise with good instructions to follow.
Thank you!
this was an excellent tutorial. thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much, I’m practicing with annunfitted sheet before I use my heavier material
That's a good use of an unfitted sheet. I hope it goes well for you :)
Thank you!💐It was the best tutorial, I did it.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy your new cloak :)
cosplaying a book characters from scythe and this tutorial helped so much! thanks for easy format and method!!
I'm so glad!
Very good video, the cape was a good tutorial, and with not too much effort.
Thank you for the feedback!
I've followed this tutorial twice now.
The first time was a year ago in February 2023; I made a black one out of a double-sided waterproof & fleece material, with a pointed hood and hook+eye fasteners.
Today, I've followed it again - this time I've made a light grey one out of fairly thin wool, with a rounded hood and snap fasteners. I've yet to see how it performs outside or how long it'll hold out before needing repairs.
I like your video, it's very good and really easy to follow compared to your competition. I found it amusing that other people have criticised you for sewing, when you've very clearly talked about the alternative 😂
I'm sort of experimenting with cloak materials - will I make one out of fleece, linen or anything else next? We'll see. Anyway, thanks for making this video - it's given me something to do! 😊
Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you've found the tutorial helpful. I love that you're making more than one cloak. Enjoy your creations!
Ooo lovely and witchy. I bet that's cosy to curl up in when it's cold outside too.
100% :)
A really useful explanation for a beginner, thanks!
I'm glad to hear that, thank you for sharing your feedback. Have a great day
Perfect video & explanation. Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome and than you for dropping a comment and letting us know the video worked for you :)
You're just amazing. Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is so good it even made me go subscribe your channel.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for subscribing! If you're craving any specific tutorials, let me know.
Wow quick and easy with no sewing. ❤️ Unlike the velvet fully lined cloak I made for DIL for their renaissance fair wedding. Hot August in Austin so never worn 🙄
Sounds like a beautiful nonetheless and something she can treasure moving forward.
Great video... nice clear explanation... thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Very cool. Thanks for the video. Keep it up

Educational! Thank you for sharing.
Happy to help :)
This is brilliant! I'll line mine which isn't hard - a little sewing is required.
Thank you! Enjoy your cloak
This will be perfect for my Adeptus Mechanicus Cosplay!
That's going to be a sweet cosplay!
Brilliant video ill be able to use this method to make a Viking cloak with fur :D thanks!
That sounds like a fun outfit! Enjoy the crafting process.
To determine which side of outerwear fleece is the outside or right side, pull it along the cut edge before you start, till it starts curling in on itself. Then think of the way your hand curls when you curl your fingers toward your palm. If it curls in on itself, like the inside of your palm, that’s the wrong side.
This has saved my halloween plans!
That's what I like to hear! Happy costuming :)
awesome tutorial
Thank you for the kind words
This has helped me alot,now i can sew my halloween costume!❤
So glad our video helped you out. Have fun making your costume
Thank you this is my blue print
going to use this for my Halloween costume, thanks for the tutorial.
You're welcome. What's your costume going to be?
awesome tutorial !
Thanks for dropping a comment and letting us know the tutorial worked out for you. :)
This is amazing! First time sower, wish me luck
You got this!
You can also hand-stitch the seams. I would use a forward one full stitch, back half stitch (stick needle midpoint in previous stitch) along the seam.
If you’re using outerwear fleece, do not iron your seams. Just finger press. It also washes and dries beautifully.
Thanks for sharing your tips!
Very helpful!
Wow this is amazing you are so talented
Thank you so much 😀
Bonjour, Merci pour ce tuto ! J ai réussi ma cape grâce à tes précieux conseils.
:) Profite bien de ta cape
Thank you. We'll done
Our pleasure!
Lovely💜
That was such a great video I assumed that you were a DIY costume channel!! This cloak would be great for my Ren Faire costume. Any other Ren Faire DIY ideas? A easy wrap skirt? Floral ribbon crown? Corset???
Thanks so much! My step son plans to use his cloak for Ren Fest too! Honestly I dabble in costumes a little bit, but I'm more of a crafter (aka making armor) than I am a sewer. Thus this tutorial with only basic or no sew skills. ;)
What's your angle? Are you trying to be funny or sarcastic. I mean obviously I want to know how to make a cloak because cloaks are awesome. I wish we all wore cloaks daily. Honestly I've never wore one outside of a one night stand cuz it was part of my Halloween costumes but I think they're tatally badass. They must give the lucky individual that is wearing it all kinds of security and comfort. Bet they are it's way better at making you feel that comfort level one gets in a nice zip up hoodie and a hoodie feels great. I always get exciter when I know it's almost hoodie time again even though I love summer. A hoodie feels good and wholesome like if you could make a a cup of hot cocoa with a dash of nutmeg in January after shoveling snow into a garment. A cloak though whoa it's gotta be even better, like a warm cup of cider with a sprinkle of cinnamon while your enjoying an apple doughnut you just witnessed the step by step process to getting made till it ends up worn and toasty in your hand at an orchard during a crisp autumn night as you ride a hayride through the HAUNTED TRAIL in all hallows eve and as you snugglepuppieuo to your companion who's skin is cold and soft as a rose petal as you sneak a kiss their cold nose burries into the nape of your warm neck sending chills all over your body. !!! Sorry.... that's what it'd be like to have a well fitted favorite cloak on I'd imagime. I don't even want to get into if you had Ike two layers with the one underneath being a zip- up, prolly have to take a cold shower after that, ha I mean am I right or am I right. Ha ha Ohhh ...well yup....that just hapoened...guess I'll get going it's been like 15 minutes and I'm just jabberin on all based on the fact that an attractive gal is commenting on cloaks and talking bout RF's it was like my mind smashed into a brick wall. That's why I asked if you were joking or trying to be sarcastic cuz it's just something that you don't see everyday. Hell ever not ever have I witnessed so many odd boxes being checked at the same time technically just 3 but still the trio is so random and I was just saying that I see you. Wish I knew where girls like you hung out in my area. Thank God there was no talk of Amish clothing cuz I would have lost my mind then lol jk but not really it's a beautiful strange world out there when people are just doing what they want without the worries of fitting in or trying to conform with society. I mean if you were in a crowded place made a loud and stern announcement the sound a 180 in a cloak while simultaneously throwing your hood on as you briskly exit the soace. Boom! That would be the best thing that happened in clothing since we finally let women wear pants. Poor Joan of Arc such a shame when religion gets all murdery with their sytem and rules. Why sometimes it's like what if we all just accepted things based on concrete facts up to this point and we had no bizarre crazy belief systems to drive us apart. I know one thing for sure as I wrap this up in a world like that we all wear cloaks and that's that. Have a wonderful life.
Really nice idea! And very easy to do for people for Halloween or something. I like it for just everyday 😉
I like it for just everyday too :)

That's wonderful. Have a good time putting your outfit together!
very helpful!
I'm glad!
Thank you!
You bet!
Thanks very much for this tutorial! I've never sewn before (I'm an adult) and I'm having my Dad help me with this. I'm not sure how to measure/calculate to get the base of the hood and neck hole measurements. I think that for the neck hole it's just measuring the circumference of the neck, correct? Thank you!
You're welcome. It's never too late to try something new :) See 03:33 in the video where I talk about neck hole measurements. 6.5 inches is a good standard size for the neck hole area. 04:50 For the base of the hood, measure out 2x whatever you did for the neck hole. I went 6.5 for the neck, so my hood base was 13. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for this!
You're so welcome!
@@GuidingBoltGaming I'm doing a photoshoot with the cloak I made next week and posting the photos on Instagram. If you have an Instagram, let me know and I'll credit you. If not, I'll link this tutorial in the caption.
That's so kind of you. No instagram, but feel free to link back here if it pleases you. What's your handle? Would love to see the results of your project.
Is the 7 extra inch for the hood only for children size head..im confused about what size to put for me.... or is it collarbone to ankle + 7 icnhes + the arc for the hood.... its more or less same size head for adults?
The extra 7 inches take into account that the fabric drapes over your shoulders before falling to the floor. If you don't add that measurement on, it won't be the length you're hoping it will be because of this. That measurement will work for adults. Hope that helps :)
In a great majority of my videos, I wear a cloak. I was thinking about spending some of my time making an outfit that matches. I dont know how to sew, so this helps.
That's awesome. Do you have a vision for a matching outfit?
Yeah. Red cloak for sure, a black mask that can cover my face but I can still see through, havent thought clearly about my clothes underneath my cloak, and I already got something for my shoes, head, and waste
Thax a million❤
But my fabric is a Genna and it's not finished so I need to sew the corner of the cloth
I've sewn all my life and really like easy versions such as this. It's perfect for a basic cloak, but oh so many ways to vary fancy or plain. Embroider plain material either with thread or paint. Add fringe short or long. You could even make the bottom cut jagged or ragged or scalloped. Etc.
That is so true. Those are some great and simple ideas for editing the cloak to make it your own. Thank you for sharing.
