A delivery from Madam Malkin...

I've recently been working on a really fun project - making a set of Gryffindor robes for lantean_drift!

I found a post with an outline of how to go about it - but it was more a set of diary notes than a step-by-step tutorial.  I had to adapt an existing cloak pattern - reshaping the hood & sleeves & giving it a full lining (with the sleeves, hood & facings in the appropriate Gryffindor red.)  It took some figuring out, but I'm quite pleased (actually - pretty darn pleased) with the result! *g*





I had to add my 'Made with love - Chez Buddy' label, of course!


I bought a Gryffindor patch & sewed it on.


The hood is quite long & comes to a very satisfying point!



My current project is a sweet, little skirt for myself made with this very cute Scottie dog print! ♥

She'd been saying that she wanted some for a while & so I thought, 'maybe I can make some?'! *g*

It looks great! Well done you.

Thanks!
It was a bit more complicated than just following a standard pattern, but it was fun to do.

So awesome and fantastic! What a talented Maker you are!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

You're so kind!
I had a lot of fun (& a little hair tearing) trying to sort out how to put it all together! *g*

As always, I'm immensely impressed by your talent! And what a fabulous gift.

Looking forward to seeing the "Scottie" skirt when it's finished!

Oh, that's so kind of you, S.
Lantean_drift is a huge HP fan & I know that she's wanted a set of robes for a while & so I thought I'd have a go! *g*

My skirt is all cut out (the part that I enjoy the least) & now I'm ready to sew it together. *fc*

That came out great. You should have taken a picture with you wearing it. Love the Scottie dog print too!

Lantean_drift is a lot taller than me (she's gorgeous!) & so I'd have been swamped! *g*

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

LOL...OK.

Wow, that's awesome. You should be pleased! I've one I've bought at the WB Tour gift shop, but it's a bit narrow across the uh, boobies and I wish I had your skills to make my own!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you!
We did look at them in the HP shop & that's when I wondered if I could just make a set myself. *g*
