Hello, I have a questions, I want to make the guards for my son’s costume and I was wondering about how many yards of felt and faux leather you used to make the guards? He said he is a beater just like the Weasley twins and now he is also requesting a bat but I think that might be a bad idea so we are are sticking with just a broom. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Frankly I am partial to Blue / Silver since my cosplay is about being as screen accurate as possible.

Unfortunately no, I haven’t found any patterns that use the shorter middle “flap” in the year 6 Quidditch robes.I made this Halloween Costume for my son several years ago and it’s been lent out and worn many many times (hello midnight movie premiers!

The official Harry Potter robe pattern (Simplicity 8723) isn’t made for Quidditch but could be modified. The robes make a great DIY Harry Potter costume for Halloween or just a fun dress-up for the crazy Harry Potter fan in your house. Cut out two of these out of black felt, then cur the 2 inches off your pattern (one inch off each side) and cut 2 of these out of faux fur. I loved the fact that it’s a little shorter in the center, this opening gives the feeling of “movement” in the fabric. Proudly displaying the Gryffindor crest on the front, this excellent robe with its hooded cape and lace-up front could very well have been worn by Quidditch keeper and captain Oliver Wood or Harry Potter himself.If you would like to feature my work, you may use ONE (1) NON-COLLAGED image and must “follow” link back to my original blog post. The silver is a very thin window-protecting covering from Michaels that we cut to shape and attached to the fabric with iron-on interfacing.

So when I found out about the Happy Harry Potter Series over at Rae Gun Ramblings, I was more than happy to participate! Costume Designer, Jany Temime designed over 300 costumes for the Yule Ball which required over 100 extra costume staff to help create. A kind of ‘Wizard’s Tuxedo’ was created for the Hogwarts boys in a satin silk while the Durmstrang students had military dress uniforms. Cut one out of the red broadcloth and one out of the yellow broadcloth with the following adjustments.I spent a few quite pleasant evenings putting all of the above into one huge, long, somewhat fabulous graphic. I don’t know how to explain it, but please tell me if this uniform has a diagonal cut and not a straight cut at the bottom.

Sew the front, back and sleeves according to the instructions in your pattern for both the yellow and red robes. He couldn’t be happier with his new Harry Potter Quidditch robes Halloween costume, hopefully we can keep it clean until Halloween because he doesn’t want to ever take it off. Although the half-jersey-half-robe seems to cut players off at an awkward spot, I have a great fondness for the tryout scene. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I did put together a free download of a pattern for the Quidditch armor/leather gear – I found that the hardest part of the whole thing.A few years ago, we even dressed up as Harry Potter characters for Halloween (my husband and I included). The “French Blue” fabric of the Beauxbatons uniform was chosen to stand out from the muted blacks, browns and greys of the other school colours.
