      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.

    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.

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 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.

    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.

    @xCheeseHead95x 4 года назад +9

    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!

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  4 года назад

      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!

      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!

      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.

    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?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  6 лет назад +1

      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.

    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.

    Was this heavy with both fabrics and also is there another fabric similar to the twill that has a sheen to it?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  6 лет назад +1

      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.

    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

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  5 лет назад

      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!

    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?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  5 лет назад

      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

    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.

  • @abbysmommy1205
    @abbysmommy1205 4 года назад

    Question, for a larger person is the measuring the same for the yardage? Total length×3÷12÷3?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  4 года назад

      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!

  • @dexxou8593
    @dexxou8593 4 года назад

    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)

    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.

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  5 лет назад

      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

    May I ask, can one make a full circle cloak..?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  5 лет назад +1

      Sure, you could cut out 2 half circles. You may have to pleat the fabric somewhat when you sew the hood to the cloak.

  • @mrowls4427
    @mrowls4427 3 года назад +1

    Note it's 2 yards plus 1 for a hood total 3 yards for outer fabric and another 3 for inner fabric you may want 3 1/2 yards if you want hand holes with trim or pockets or other decorative but matching fabric bits
    For winter ones use a woolen felt with a plush furr inner and it's toasty warm and lovely and normal use ones should come to mid calf not lower so to keep it clean longer ones are for weddings or photos only, not practical use.
    this ones for cool not cold weather that she made I'm making mine soon😆

    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?

    • @madelinecoleman1967

      Is it 5 yards TOTAL plus hood? Or 5 for the outside, 5 for the inside, plus the 1 for the hood?

    Can you hand stitch a cloak or would it just be easier with a sewing machine? I wouldn't mind trying this sometime myself =]

      You could hand stitch but it's a ton of material so it would be WAY faster with a machine!
