EASY HOODED CLOAK TUTORIAL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2018
- I was trying to find a tutorial online to make a really quick and simple cloak, but could not find one that was quite right so I decided to make one myself! I made this cloak for about 6 dollars for my LARP this weekend to keep warm. However, cloaks can also be used for any costumes, cosplays, Walmart visits- you name it!
Towards the end of the video I touch on tips for making the cloak without a cape to use for reference and also simply clarify the absolute basics of making a cloak.
Also, this was my first tutorial ever and I hit a couple technical difficulties as well, so I will definitely work on improving the quality of my tutorials in the future. I hope this video was able to help!
Thanks a ton for watching!

This was kinda helpful but what would I do if I don’t already have a cape to trace
Klance Is my spirit animal I touch on that a little bit towards the end (4:51 I believe)- but I’m hoping to make another video soon that’s a bit more clear with that as well!
I'm just looking for ideas on how to make a hood.. and I can't believe it's just a rectangle... Hahaha
At 4:51 I touch on how one would go about this without an old cape to use for reference! Hope this helps!
4:36 cape butt wiggle! xD
I am so going to add this to the list of things I need to make for my PC. But in red. Because everything has to be in red. #aesthetic
Thanks SO MUCH!! Ive watched dozens of cape and cloak making videos and while all were understandable....this tutorial made the most SENSE and was the most FUN TO MAKE:) Your patternless design was perfect and the kids and I had a blast making them. Thanks again, keep up th great work!!
I'm so glad you guys had fun with it! I also watched a lot of other videos, but just wanted something suuuper simple and straightforward, myself.
Thank you so much for the easy tutorial!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Using a blanket is a great idea! Never thought about it. Than you.
Thank you! This is actually the most helpful video I’ve found on making these!
I'm so glad I could help!
Thanks for this! The other videos confused me but this is really clear!🙃
Alanis van de Werken I’m so glad I could help! I wanted to be as clear as possible as I was struggling to find a clear tutorial as well
There are so many confusing videos, but your explanation at the end was perfect 👌🏼
I'm so glad I was able to help!

This is very helpful! Thank you so much for making this! 💐
(Maybe someday can you make a more in depth tutorial for sewing this without a pattern?)
I’m glad I could help! I would love to make another video without a pattern for sure.
I impulse bought black fabric with holographic stars and moons and I didn’t know what to do and all my friends said cape so I’m gonna use your guide thank you for making it so clear ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much! I have a Halloween party tommorow and I am going to try this tonight! This was the most simple video I have seen thank you again 😊
I'm so glad I was able to help! Have fun!
Update? How did it go?
It's storming and I have a tin roof and I can't hear a single word of this
I am just sitting in my living room and can't hear a word of it 😂
Nice
Do you have any issues with the front riding up to your neck so that it kind of chokes you? That tends to happen when I make capes and I'm trying to figure out how to avoid it. It could be because I've used really thin fabric but I would love to know your thoughts
I don't tend to have too many issues with it choking me, unless of course I'm running with it on or something, then it will slide back and be a bit uncomfortable. I think because mine is a little more snug on the shoulders it sort of holds on and stays put a bit better. Something I would consider trying is perhaps getting a metal closure on your cloak. This could help add a little weight pulling it down away from your neck. I've noticed the lighter the closure, the more it moves around. For example, those little fabric ties cheap capes have are the absolute worst. If all else fails- maybe either get a cloak pin and a blanket or try safety pinning your cloak in place so that it doesn't fall back. Hope this helps!
Any suggestions for those of us that do not have a sewing machine?
Deborah Stein I also did not have a sewing machine for this project so it is quite do-able! Personally, I just went for a fabric that didn’t fray so that I didn’t have to go and hem all of those edges by hand because that would take me days to complete. I just did what I’m pretty sure is called a running stitch to speed up the process and it wasn’t so bad! I was able to knock this out in just a couple of hours.
Anyone have recommendations on the best place to get medieval clothing (1150-1335AD) for men (English), women (Iberian) and children that also doesn't look out of place in the modern world?
I was thinking that footwear like the following could suit (whilst not necessarily being perfect)
Men: Sandals, Espadrilles, Ropes Sandals, Empire Sandals, Leather Thongs, Menorcan Sandals, Gladiator Sandals, Clogs, Monk Strap, Moccasins, Woven Sandals, Suede Loafer, Chukka Boots, Chelsea boots, Plimsolls, Cuban Heel Chelsea Boots, Chukka Desert Boot, Driving Shoes,
Women: Strappy Tie-up Sandals, Knotted Suede Toe Post Sandal, Cross Strap flat sandals, Raffia double strap slide sandals, woven leather tie leg sandal, Mules, Clogs, Over the Knee Boots, Ballet Flats, Lace Up Knee High Boots, Stirrup Boots, Slouch Boot, Desert Lace Up Shoes, Cuban heel western Chelsea boot with buckle detail.
Likewise, Quilted Clothing (like Quilted Sweatshirt, Quilted Puffer Coat, Quilted Coat, Quilted Tracksuit Pants, Quilted Tracksuit Top, Quilted Jumper) could suffice for Civilian Gambeson.
I’m also thinking that Tunics (Knee, Cocktail, Midi or Maxi Length), Leggings, Tights, Long Sleeved V Neck Shirt, Tank Top, Henley Shirt, Track Pants, Hoodie, T-Shirt with Notch Neck, Driving Gloves, Suede Gloves, Leather Gloves could be used.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
What fabric did you make it with the gray one what was the gray fabric?
It was a blanket from walmart that I made into a cloak. I’m not sure what fabric it was made of exactly. It was not quite fleece, but maybe something similar?
I’d recommend anything you find cozy. If you’re going to be outside with it, stay away from anything too fuzzy as that will not be very durable, and will be extremely heavy in the rain.
THANK YOU!!! YES, YOU NAILED IT!! Outstanding and it looks great!
On a side note, it's hard to hear you bc your sweet voice is so low.
Ah thank you so much!! I’m glad you liked it! And also thank you for pointing that out. I’ve noticed it as well and am working on it! I just switched editing software so I can boost my audio a bit more now too~
I want to buy a cape/ Cloak but My parent’s probably won’t let me ;-; a long Black or Red and a short Lace one with a thin light Pink layer at the bottom and there’s a ribbon that ties around the neck not too tight but a little bit hanging. AAA ;-;
Akatsuki _kowari こんにちは〜 You could always put it on a birthday/holiday wishlist or try to make it yourself too!
What pattern did you use?
Sshay.r I had an old halloween cape from walmart- but it is very do-able without!
What if you don’t have an old one :’c
so if I don't already have a cape to copy from, I won't be able to make it...
Tatyana Chambers That is just how I cheated for mine to show the general shape you need. Towards the end I talk about how you could do it without one as well! I know it is not the best format, but I hope this helps in some way.
What's the material needed?
I just used a blanket from walmart, a closure, and a needle and thread. You could make it from any blanket or maybe grab a couple yards of a fleece, wool, or other heavy fabric. You could really use anything you'd like to!
How would I go about making a longer tail on my hood?
Maybe try cutting it to be more of a triangle rather than a square as I did. This way it would be more shallow of a hood, but come down longer in the back. Hope this helps!
I am going to be making a cape of a character named Tamaki Amajiki do you know a way I could add the lining of gold in its shape?
Hi, this is a bit late so I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I wanted to do a really similar thing, so what I did was basically make two capes, one with thicker fabric (some polyester wool), and one with thinner (some thin cotton) and sew the thin one good side out to the thick one. It's not perfect but it worked in a pinch!
is it warm tho
my name thor Wool would be extra warm but this was made from a blanket so it definitely helps!
So quiet
Sorry about that. My videos keep exporting much quieter than they sound in the editing program. I will be working on it!
