DIY Elven Cloak | An Essential for Adventurers

If you’re like me, and had enough of freezing, I hope I will inspire you too to sew this beautiful warm cape for yourself! And of course no project of mine can go without some form of embroidery, so let's design some inspired by the style of the Lord of the Rings elves.
This cape will be a staple in your adventuring wardrobe.

8:29 The cat is like: "Hooman, I think you don't have your priorities straight. I'm more important, but as I am a very patient sovereign, I'll allow you to finish this" 🤭. Beautiful cloak 🥰! Congrats! Hope to see more!

The sponsored by winter made me laugh out loud! Thanks for another great video

[@isabellaferretti7279]

So beautiful! And cutting your neck hole too large was fortuitous, the gently gathered neckline looks really good. If I owned this gorgeous cloak I would never want to take it off!

It's one of those happy accidents 🥰

Beautiful! Who can resist a good cape?

[@auntiezann5146]

Stunning embroidery! And the cape is a real work of art.

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Thank you so much!

Excellent work amazing job

Really nicely done! Good story! I love the mountain scenes--reminds me of where I grew up! I read LOTR when I was ten in 1970. My father had it. I love how he translated the Volsunga saga into modern fantasy. Lovely cloak--I have a ton of Art Nouveau--I love it! Those embroidery machines look intimidating though. I just do it by hand. Takes forever!

[@anastasijad5646]

Love the art nouveau design!

Loved the fanciful opening! Your designs are wonderful, so inspiring :)

Thank you 🥰

I really love how that turned out. That's such a stunningly beautiful cloak. I love how it's so incredibly beautiful and elegant yet cozy, and also simple yet intricate, absolutely gorgeous yet practical. I bet it keeps you nice and warm. It's pretty enough that I think it'd be awesome if you wore it in other seasons (although I imagine it's not practical in the summer). How long do winters last where you live? Here winter lasts from the end of November through the first half of April. Although it can snow even in October and May as well.

I absolutely love your cape. It's gorgeous

Ilike somuch cloak cape

[@estherdreisbach-pollington5844]

I really love this cloak as I am looking into making one for the winters in Scotland, and was wondering what fabric you used for this project.

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

I used an upholstery fabric from a discount store so I'm not a 100% sure of its fabric content 😅

[@estherdreisbach-pollington5844]

@@AspiringCostumeDesigner thank you so much for the reply, im really excited to get the fabric and start sewing!

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

TBH, I kind of regret the fabric of choice, as it's not the most waterproof. If you can afford it I would recommend wool, medium or heavy weight. That would would last a while in the rain before soak ing through 😊

[@gillianm1725]

I love it! What material do you use? How many metres?

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Thanks! I used upholstery fabric, about 3-4 meters, but I don't remember exactly.

[@kamahanasommer1277]

Amazing 😍 it's exactly what i needed What fabric did you use ?

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

It's a heavy weight poly-cotton upholstery fabric. But anything with a good weight and drape can work. Wool would be the best actually, only if it wasn't so expensive 😮‍💨

[@lgbtqmatters4480]

How long does making the actual cloak take with out the Embroydirey (I can't spell :'D)

[@marybehn3139]

Can you tell us what brand and model your sewing machine and embroidery machine are, please

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

It's a brother sewing machine and a Janome 500e embroidery machine

[@beeticket]

Baby when you serve it up you do give it to us hot 😌 amazing 🌿✨

[@sarahmcinroy2321]

Do you have your embroidery files for sale?

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Not yet, but one day I'll set up a store for it. It's in the plans.

[@stephanieoconnor3530]

Where is the link for the pattern? There's nothing there?

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Sorry about that, I fixed it now.

[@stephanieoconnor3530]

Thanks so much 😊
