My robe (FINALLY!)
« Thread Started on Jul 13, 2009, 9:07am »

Well, I've made my very first Jedi robe. 8-)

It's far from perfect, as the latter half is sewn with black thread I( ran out of brown), and the strip I cut to cover up the raw edge of hood meeting cloak is too small to fit. :-[

Aside from that it looks okay. It's made from that suede-look stuff someone posted on a while back (wool is never availible when I have money), so the inside doesn't look too good...but the outside does. The color looks fairly good with the colors of my tunics and tabards, and I love the way it billows.

I'll put some pics up later so you can see what it looks like.

The best thing to do with a new robe is to wear it a little bit.

Work out the kinks; you'll always be thinking of improvements, but that's part of the fun. Looking forward to seeing it.

Pics! (sorry about the quality- I had to capture off the vidoe camera again)

robe back- hood up

robe front-hood up

robe back- hood down

robe front- hood down

I know the hood is a little on the small side, but being short-waisted I didn't exactly want to sit on it. I'm already regretting gathering the hood and robe so much; it's too small to close well. The folds were the hardest to figure out, since the inside of the fabric is slippery. I used a LOT of pins and ended up breaking yet another needle...and this stuff isn't that thick! ::)

At least it's a beginning. That ought to told me off until some wool (and more cash, LOL) rolls in.

VEry Nice!
Of course If I had sewn it the robe would have been blood red by the time I finished....needles do not like me at all. ;-)
