Make Hogwarts house tunics
What you need...
The Hogwarts house tunics are long sleeved and bi-coloured according to the house colour: red for Gryffindor; gold/yellow for Hufflepuff; blue for Ravenclaw; green for Slytherin.The right side of the tunic body is the house colour while the left is black with the Hogwarts house badge on the chest.
The sleeves are the opposite colour to the body - the left arm is coloured and the right is black.
You will need approximately 1.5m in length of coloured fabric and 1.5m of black fabric, depending on width. Enough matching coloured ribbon to go around the neck, wrists, and bottom seams.

Making a pattern & cutting your fabric...
Find a long-sleeved top or a t-shirt that already fits.Trace around this top onto a large sheet of newspaper. Extend the length if you want a full tunic.
Cut out your pattern. Cut the pattern in half down the middle, and cut the sleeves off.
Lay one piece of fabric on top of the other and pin together in several places.
Arrange and pin all your pattern pieces to your combined fabric square.
Leave a space of about half an inch on all sides as you cut around the newspaper pattern pieces. This extra space will be used when the pieces are sewn together.

Putting it all together...
Match up the fabric pieces inside out:Front: place the right-hand-side coloured piece against the left-hand-side black piece (wrong sides of both fabric facing outwards). Sew these two pieces together down the middle.
Back: place the left-hand-side coloured piece against the right-hand-side black piece (wrong sides out). Sew these two pieces together down the middle.
Join: sew each of the shoulders of the front piece to the shoulders of the back piece, leaving a hole for the head.
Sleeves: place the two coloured sleeves together (wrong sides out). Sew together along the top of the arm only. Repeat with the black sleeves.
Attach the sleeves to the body:
Lay the body out flat with the right side of the fabric facing upwards. Lay the right side of the sleeve over the body and fit the arm-hole of the sleeve to the arm-hole of the body. Pin together and sew. Repeat with the other sleeve.
Making up the tunic:
Fold the tunic over again at the shoulders, so that the wrong sides of the fabric are facing outwards.
Pin and sew the tunic together all the way from the wrist of the sleeve, up the arm, and down the side of the body.
Finishing off
Sew or glue ribbon around the raw edges of the neck-hole, wrists, and bottom edge.
Stick or sew a Hogwarts house badge onto the black panel on the front of the tunic.

Daoine, if my babies weren't all grown up, it would be so much fun to make these tunics. Great idea! Cool thing about Squidoo is, the lenses hang around, unless you take 'em down, so in a couple o' years I can come back and get the details to make 'em for my grandkids. Whoohoo! Posted May 03, 2007 |
