More costume construction

Miss Ava and her mom are going to NYC for a girls' weekend.
One of the activities is attending the Harry Potter play.
So, a Hogwarts cloak was needed.
After checking the costume collection at our house, I decided to make a cloak
I found a free pattern to download and bought fabric.


One suggestion was to accent the sleeves with pink lightning bolt fabric leftover
from a dress I made for Ava last year. I found a 2 inch bias strip.
I cut it into 1 inch strips and added it to the cloak.


Above is the finish.


It has a frog closure - hand stitched.

Showing the front facing.


The neck seam was exposed so I whipped down a velvet ribbon to cover it.


This girl was so pleased with the cloak.
She said it was the best!


Ready for the show.

Happy Sewing!
Next - make a cloak for brother.
