Hey everyone!
Hope you are all doing well heading into this Halloween season. I'm up to my ears in orders, which will be a great way for me to take pictures and explain each step in more detail. First things first, I wanted to talk about material.
The reason I haven't included fabric requirements in my pattern (yet) is because I will need to do it for both 60" bolts and 44" bolts.
I prefer to use gabardine for my cloaks because it has a great weight to it. You can also use cotton, but it will be a little bit see-through, especially when light hits it, and it won't be drawn to the ground as much because it hasn't got the same weight to it. I would also recommend suitings or wool blends unless your child has sensitive skin.
A quick materials list for Tuesday:
- Material (I'll get the fabric requirements posted on Sunday)
- Measuring tape
- Straight pins
- Seam ripper
- Sewing machine
- Universal needle
- Matching thread
- PDF pattern, printed out and taped together
- Scissors (one for your paper and one for your fabric)
- Optional: bias tape (in the tutorial I'll be using a bias strip of the material)
Recommended:
- Cup of coffee
- Camera (in case you get stuck, or want to show off your cloak when you're finished)
