How-To Gryffindor Robe

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

You only need two measurements for this robe:

1. Measure form your shoulder to your ankle. If you want the robe to be shorter than ankle length, measure to your knees or calf.

2. Measure from wrist to wrist to determine how long you want the sleeves of your robe. If you want the sleeves to overlap your hands, then add a few inches to the measurement.

Cut a rectangle of the black fabric that is twice the length of your shoulder to ankle measurement. Now cut an identical rectangle from the red fabric.

Fold the black fabric exactly in half. Make sure that all the sides are lined up.

Next we will trace your body on the fabric.
