Harry Potter Robe Pattern Free DIY Tutorial:

Step 1 – Cut out the Hogwart’s Robe

Assemble the pattern you can find detailed instructions here.

For speed’s sake I’ve designed the pattern so one piece doubles as the front and the back.  Essentially you will cut out the back and then cut down the pattern so you can cut out the front.

On folded fabric, Place the back on the fold and cut out 1.

Step 4 – Prep the lining

To create that flash of house color inside the robe, we need to prep and insert the lining to it. There are a couple of ways to do it.

Harry Potter Robe Pattern Free

You need to finish the raw edge of the lining, ( this is the side of the lining that comes to a point at the top). You can either turn it under a quarter of and inch, press and then zig zag stitch  along the edge in a thread that is the same color to finish the edge.  Or you can use a turning foot to turn that raw edge under and finish it ( this is how I did it). Note: Make sure that they are mirror images and you don’t finish them on the same side.

Once that edge is finished you can attach it to the Hogwart’s robe. Line up the top of the lining to the hood/ neck line right sides together.

Step 5 – Add the lining to the sleeves to the Wizard Robe

Now it’s time to add that flash of color to the sleeves.

The the straight side finish the edge like you did the lining.  Either with  a turned edge ( like I did or fold it under and to the wrong side and zig zag stitch it down.)

Take the sleeve lining, and on the small side pin it right sides together and sew, to make it a loop.

Harry Potter Robe Pattern Free

Add it to the sleeves.  With the robe sleeve turned right side out, pin the wizard cloak sleeve lining to the sleeve so right sides are touching (sleeve lining seam should be facing out). Note:  The seams on the sleeve and the lining DO NOT match up, the curves do.  This is the hide the seams for a more pleasing appearance.

Pin each side to the sleeves right sides together. Sew on, for this seam use a .25 inch seam allowance. trim curves.

Optional, but recommended.  Top stitch along the out edge of the sleeve to keep the lining inside and the look neat.  Hand tack the edge of the robe sleeve lining on the inside of the sleeve with glue or a few stitches to keep it in place.

Step 6 – Hem the Harry Potter Robe Pattern
