Wizard or Monk Robe

Similar to the Simple Tabbard only longer and with sleaves.

Fabric

A medium to light weight fabric will work best with this pattern, although if you really want to you could use just about anything. Go for glitzy fabrics if you're doing the wizard, or plain old burlap if you're making the monk robe. For either garment you'll need about 6 yards total, maybe a little more if your gentleman is large. If you're doing the wizard robes you'll probably want to decorate it with some fancy trim and applicay stars and moons.

Measurements

Measure shoulder width from shoulder tip to shoulder tip (A), arm length from shoulder tip to wrist (B), around the base of the neck (C), around the chest plus 10 inches (D), around the shoulder area then double it to get the size of the arm hole (E), and the full body length from shoulder to floor (F).

Pieces Assembled

The pattern consists of four body pieces and four sleave pieces. The basic shape of the body piece above shows which measurements should be applied to each seam. The width of the top of the body panel * is half of A. The neck opening * is one quarter of C. The width of the body panel at chest height * (at the bottom of the arm hole) is one quarter of D. The arm hole * is half of E. The length * of the panel is F. Flair the body panel so that it measures one and a half of D at the bottom hem. For the sleaves you're going to cut out a bunch of triangles with one blunted end. The length * of the sleave is B. The arm hole * is half of E. The other measurements are up to you depending on how long and droopy you want the sleaves to be. Don't forget to add seam allowances when cutting out the pieces.

Pattern Assembly

Do I really have to describe how to assemble this? It's pretty simple, really. Just take the two front body pieces and sew the center seam together, then do the same for the two back body pieces. Then sew the front and back together at the side and shoulder seams. Sew the sleave pieces together and attach them to the body at the arm hole. Hem the neck, sleaves and bottom and tah, dah! You're done. Now get out your needle and thread and hand sew on some trimmings.
