This video is a step by step guide on how I make my Jedi and sith robes for my custom Star Wars figures as well as my black series Jedi I use 50/50 knit/polyester fabric for my robes.
I like to fold the sleeve over and make a cuff, but thank you for this video! I’m a 3.75 collector and I just applied this method to the V. C. Figures and this video was absolutely amazing! Sense seeing this video I have been making robes and other style stuff for my figures like a skirt type with a long cape, I make sleeveless coats for some figures, and even wire rimmed hoods! But this video was the inspiration for all of the things I make for my figures! Example, I just today made a pull over black robe for a custom Boba Fett from the mandolorian! He looks amazing! So again I say awesome video! Very inspiring and showed us who can use a sowing machine how easy it is to make these. Like I said I’m making them for 3.75 and they come out beautifully! Ty
Thank you !!!!!! So much I’ve always wanted to try this but I always thought it would require a lot of effort to make it but after I saw this video I was so happy so thank you 🙏 the robes look amazing 🤩 🔥
this is a great tutorial im really hype on making some for my figures i have a some that will look alot better having the gangta look lol anyways thanks ....by the way i have the old palpatine figure that have thta ugly skirt thats ruber and would like to make it in fabric to be able to sit him down on hes trone can u show us how?
Jose Garcia I use a combination of knit polyester blend fabrics. They can be difficult so sew but tend to have the best look when the robe is on the figure.
He says it in the video and in the video description you i***t. How about you look before you type. Find the answers yourself and stop being hand fed the answers you're looking for.
Karan Grewal yeah you can use any fabric you want. It’s going to lay differently though depending on your choice. I use 50/50 knit/polyester blend fabric. It lays nice to its looks more natural and not stiff
Jedi-Fi I haven't made that one yet but plan too. The pattern in essence is a semi circle but the flat end you'd want leave a little extra so it could wrap around his neck. Then attach the hood. I plan on making a tutorial for it.
No the fabric I used doesn’t bleed. if you were worried about that you could get the hood wet, fit it on the figure and then remove the robe and let it dry.
MdmYouth I don't have specific measurements it was trial and error for the first couple I made until I found the right size. I then saved that robe and use it as a template.
Anybody have pictures of how there's turned out? I tried and it fit horribly. Found good fabric that doesn't look or sit too big for 6", but it just doesn't work out.
Iron the folds in the seams? I thought about trying that because at the seams it tends to curl in. Ok awesome, I'll try that man thanks! Also, I made the back portion a little more narrow then the front where the opening is. The opening kept coming out too tight with no room to close or make that finished seam in front. Hopefully it turns out ok 😬
Rick Guell for the issues on the front being too tight to make your finish seams. You'll want to make sure when you first cut your pattern you cut it big in terms of sleeve length, robe width and robe length. You can always go back and sew another seam making it more narrow but if you make it too narrow to begin with you'll have to scrap the whole robe and start over.
Great tutorial but people and especially Hasbro have got to stop using this kind of material for robes. It's just terrible to work with when it comes to how it lays on the figure.
