Things You'll Need:
- Fabric
- Needle and thread
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
-
Step 1
Measure the wearer from the base of his neck to the ankles. This tells you almost how long the fabric for your cloak needs to be. Add about 4 inches more and double the sum to get the length of the straight edge of the fabric.
-
Step 2
Double the fabric over.
-
Step 3
Draw a half-circle on the fabric. Make the curve constant. Check it carefully and correct any errors before you move to the next step.
-
Step 4
Cut the half-circle out of the fabric. Keep an even hand and follow the drawn pattern until you've reached the end.
-
Step 5
Cut a neck hole into the fabric. You can do this by making another half-circle on the fabric and cutting along it. The diameter should be about half an inch to a full inch bigger than the diameter of the wearer's neck.
-
Step 6
Hem it up, making sure to keep all the edges straight. This is why you gave extra fabric in Step 1 and folded the fabric over. Now all you have to hem is the bottom and the neck hole.
-
Step 7
Add a sturdy, large hook-and-eye about where the indentation at the base of the neck is, relative to the wearer.
