HOW TO MAKE OUR ROBE



黒装束
The Black Robe
We must come to master instantly when he summons us. I believe you are ready anytime. But some of you may not have suitable clothes. It is IMPOLITE to meet master by everyday wear. You should get your typical robe at once.

This robe is very simple style. I think you can finish in 4 - 5 hours even if without magic.
(hand-sewing will take all day)

MASURE YOUR SIZE

You can use the value (your feet - 1 foot) instead of |.

Measuring your best fit shirt is good if you are difficult to measure yourself.
MAKE A PAPER PATTERN

Make your pattern from newspaper or something.
This unit is cm. (centimeter). Sorry, I don't have feet-ruler. 1 centimeter is about 0.4 inch.
See these photos for to trace curves.

GUESS HOW LONG YOU NEED

Arrange the paper pattern with a margin and take its length.
I think it becomes 180 inches or so.
GET CLOTH

Buy black cloth and thread. It's not prudent to buy at Madam Malkin's because she can be curious about what you try to make. Using some Muggle shop is better for your safety.
The cotton broadcloth is easy to sew, but it is wrinkly and appearance is not good enough.
Although synthetic fiber will be stylish , sewing is difficult.
Velvet is comparatively easy to sew and is very beautiful, but expensive.
Don't choose only at a price. Choose the thing suitable for your skill for good result.
(There is the Black Silk that made from the black silkworm's thread at the store in Knockturn Alley. The robe made from this cloth that harbors dark power is the best but naturally we should refrain from useing a material higher-class than Master)
CUT CLOTH
put pattern
Put patterns on cloth and cut it. Leave a margin of 1 - 3 centimeters to sew up.
Mark the points.and..

Get a bias tape whose width is 1.5 inches from the surplus scrap.
Length is enough if there are 4 inches.

Before beginning to make, check if there is not any watch of the Ministry of Magic.
