Seam

Winter has arrived, and everyone is thinking of various ways to keep warm. Few people have Hanfu specifically made for all four seasons, so we need to think about how to wear our limited Hanfu in the cold winter? A cloak is undoubtedly the best choice. So today, I will talk to you about making a cloak. First, choose suitable fabric. What kind of fabric is suitable for making a cloak? To ensure the cloak is warm, you cannot choose thin materials like chiffon, thin cotton, or silk. Thicker fabrics such as jacquard cotton and wool flannel are better for insulation. Of course, this is the first step in selecting the outer fabric. The second step is choosing the lining.

With the fabric chosen, it's time to start making the cloak. Next, understand the components of the cloak. A cloak consists of two parts:…

The width at the chest area should be half of your chest measurement, with some extra allowance, and also leave space for the seam allowance. By the way, the shape I drew is based on my feeling, just make sure it's symmetrical on both sides (I am so casual...) I forgot to mention, since my dorm room is very small, I brought the materials to a large table in the library study room (very suitable for students), which is…
