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 hooded 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.
Side view.
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.
Update- Brother's version is finished.
I made a neck facing for Kenton's cloak.
The hood had a small adjustment in the pointed end.
After I sew on the frog closure this will be ready for Master Kenton.
The second one was quicker to make because
I made the side and sleeve seams last.
It was easier to sew the hood and facings with the garment flat.
Happy Sewing!
