The Surprising Trials of making a Circular Cloak (Traveller Cosplay)

Last week I indulged my dark cottagecore desires and made a full circular cloak using some Green wool I'd treated myself to. It was... surprisingly complicated, but perhaps thats just what comes of starting a sewing project with absolutely NO planning
This will eventualy become the cloak of my Traveller/Artagan cosplay from Critical Role, so look out for that!

Good job. Amazing how you found a misty forest to model it in!

[@profetarmageddon]

Love it. I'm making a nother one navy blue wool blankets.. It's going to be practical for hiking. So I use shoulder straps like carrying a back pack as what holds the Cloak on when I Wana through it back off my shoulders. It worked Great. Idk why I don't see it More. Love your work. I've always hand sewn

[@sidiwvwhi]

[@BeepBeepAndVanillaBean]

Fantastic

[@Elle-qv1gv]

Okay so question I am making a cloak for my friend (he is about 5’11) How long and wide do you think my fabric should be to make a cloak for him that is floor length? I know he is pretty tall so it may be a lot but I’m not sure how much to purchase

[@jonlilley2832]

Hi, Sarah! Where did you get that fabric and does it come in black? Thank you! So glad you found your phone, too!

[@KatDreams.]

Fabuloso

[@KaeyaAlberich30]

Is there a way to figure out how long you need to make the circle for yourself? I’m plus size and very broad in the shoulders, so I don’t think I can just follow a standard pattern

[@sarahmccostumes4782]

Measure from the nape of your neck, across to your shoulder, and then down to the floor from there (easiest if a friend does this for you). That will more or less give you the radius your Big Circle needs to be. If this is over 150cm you'll probably need to piece a few bits of fabric together, so make sure to keep the grain of the fabric lined up when you're doing this so that the cloak doesn't drape weird

[@desertcourier]

Hello there Sarah! I love the way your cloak flows and it looks amazing! Would it be ok if I used your cloak poses as a reference for an animated dark souls video I'm doing?

[@sarahmccostumes4782]

aw hell yeah dude go for it

[@desertcourier]

@@sarahmccostumes4782 Epic! I will mention you in the video description!

[@ishtiaq4955]

How did you cut the neck area

[@jorgeamdv]

Wow!!!

[@angelaangie9748]

[@RashmiSaid]

[@mizpepzi]

[@professoralenircatori9482]

Maravilhoso

[@adamvr4517]

idk how i ended up here but it was cool regardless

[@NoNameAtAll2]

How much did the material cost?

[@NoNameAtAll2]

I envy your industrial machine

[@NoNameAtAll2]

Cloak looks exciting

[@Zippythewondersquirrel]

Everything

[@kalsumakhatun5867]

Do you sell these

[@raveenadesilva5718]

This give me BBC merlin's vibe

[@patricksylverekakouebiassa1728]

hi can i order a black one with you

[@Angela-Ruby]

I’m screaming at the phone the whole time because from the start this went downhill fast. You NEVER start with your good fabric when you have no pattern and less than 100% confidence that it will work exactly as you want it to. Muslin muslin muslin first! You also did not account for seam allowance, fabric weight, dart placement, angles, allowance.. I watched three minutes and already had a headache and some of you are saying “great tutorial?!” What?! I have been sewing on an industrial Singer since I was 7 years old so I know what I am talking about. Please educate yourself on techniques and you will be more successful and less stressed.

[@mrsbeefheart]

Cry about it 😂

[@Angela-Ruby]

I don’t need to cry about anything because I’m not the one who wasted a ton of money just to make something less than what was envisioned.

[@mrsbeefheart]

@@Angela-Ruby who cares? The fabric was cheap and the garment still gets a lot of wear. Sometimes people do stuff for fun and upload videos of the process including any mistakes they make, it’s really not that serious!

[@Angela-Ruby]

@@mrsbeefheart Then you just negated your first comment. Good job 👍🏻

[@Sam-gf1eb]

Risks are what makes something fun.
