Cruella (2021) Coat Tutorial - Free pattern from Mood Fabrics

[@J_Isak]

I totally want to use this pattern too but to make an actual jacket and not a costume. Ill probably hem the train a little and split the skirt to add pockets as it's like a more punk princess jacket in a way and i love that

[@tilliboomcosplay]

That's such a fantastic idea! It's both totally punk and awesome. Cruella would love that.

I did the pocket step in mine to! It works well. Just don't put them in facing backwards the first time like I did. 🤣

[@tilliboomcosplay]

@@aerynbee Oh I've been there! So nice to have pockets!

Hi! Thank you for this video. I am attempting the same dress for halloween so this is really helpful as I do not have much sewing experience. Wish me luck!

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Good luck! I’m glad it is helpful. This one was a lot of fun to make! Happy to answer any questions if you have any while you are building!

[@coralineshirley2329]

Very beatifuly done! I can't wait to try this pattern as well, thank you for the tutorial!

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Thank you! It’s a great pattern and was a lot of fun to make. I’d definitely recommend it!

Hi, great video, your coat looks amazing. I’m thinking of making this in a light to mid weight velvet, unlined as a ritual robe. How do you think it might go unlined? I’m thinking either French seams or maybe honking it flat felled seams. Appreciate any input. Have a great week 😁🌸🌸

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Hi! Thank you so much! I think you'd absolutely be able to do this coat in a light velvet unlined. French seams can be challenging with velvet because it can be a bit bulky. I'd recommend a serger if you have one or a zig zag stitch. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Can you please help me with the fabric? How much of the dalmation fabric did you use? Either in yards or meters? Would be glad for your support! Greetings from Germany! :-)

[@didi-ik1jb]

hello sorry no speack english , pourriez vous m'aider pour savoir combien de mètres de tissu il me faudrait car je suis grande 1.80 mètre ? merci et bravo pour le manteau

[@aerynbee]

I just finished all the pattern steps!! What a workout this project is. I literally could not have done it without this video playing on loop. Thank you! 🤍🖤

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Yay congratulations on finishing this beast of a project! Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it and I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@aerynbee]

It really was so helpful! Gave me the confidence to get through it. I am a first timer, so if anyone new to sewing is watching this and wants to try too, you can do it! Took me more than four days not knowing what I was doing and learning each step, just give yourself time. I used the cheapest cotton fabric and lining I could find and it turned out great.

[@amyblake5465]

I'm making this for my daughter this year for Halloween. Do you remember how wide your fabric was? 9 yards seems ridiculous at 60" wide; I'm making the size 6.

[@tilliboomcosplay]

I thought so too, but I also MASSIVELY over purchased because I was in a rush and didn’t fully realize it. My fabric was 108” wide or something ridiculous. So I still have left over fabric from this project. The skirt does have a lot of fabric.

[@mariekevanderaalst8359]

Did you use the twill fabric recommended? Im doubting between a cotton twill, gabardine twill (poly with cotton) and even skai leather wich will be very heavy. Any advice?

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Hi! I did not. I honestly didn’t want to spend that much on the fabric and didn’t mind not being super accurate. I ended up using an extra wide quilt cotton that was 108” wide. It helped to keep it really light and more economical.

[@mariekevanderaalst8359]

@@tilliboomcosplay oh wow thanks for the fast response, yours is beautifull!

[@tilliboomcosplay]

@@mariekevanderaalst8359 thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@mariekevanderaalst8359]

@@tilliboomcosplay another question 😏 did you use both bottles of fabric die?

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Sorry for my delay gosh. Hmmm I don't believe so.

[@linnealejon]

Hey! Lovely tutorial! How long did rhis tale to make?

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Hi! Thank you so much! I did it fairly quickly but used a good portion of my days to get it all done. I believe it took around four or five days.

[@marszattack5148]

im attempting to make this for Halloween and I'm using the same pattern as you from moodfabrics and I cannot for the life of me figure out the skirt. i do not have a lot of sewing experience so maybe that is why I am so confused but I cant figure out what gets sewed where I'm really confused and I tried to watch your video to help see how its done and I still cant really tell, are you able to help me?

[@tilliboomcosplay]

Hi there! Sorry my video wasn’t helpful in the skirt construction. That’s great to know and I’m happy to try and help. It’s a really big pattern and hard to visualize. What step are you on?
