Building a Church: Robes

Part 2 of the costumes are generic robes. I wanted our church to use them for other projects so I choose neutral colors and mad a series of 12 "T" robes. I folded (half width-wise then length-wise) and cut a 40 inch length of cotton broadcloth. I cut an "L" shape to create the sleeve and body.






I cut a seam up the middle and a split in the neckline to make the opening of the robe. I estimated many of these measurements.









Sew bothsides of the "L"s and the opening and nekline of the robe. I folded over the top of the robe opening to a triangle to be able to sit flatter around the neck.

 Here are the 12 robes. 4 horses, 2 disciples, woman, owner, captain, 2 old men. Ready for the church's Palm Sunday play.
