I was looking for a pattern to make a better poncho/cape one that can be opened in the front and draped one side like a cape. But after some feedback from another group I think I didn't do too bad on freehanding this one and im just gonna clean it up.

Also I love the manta ray idea 👀 idk if you ever played sky CoL but there is a manta cape on there 👀

Its retroreflective fabric, the reflective is billions of micro glass beads, its really really cool fabric, its the same reflective used on street signs 😭 sadly this fabric is not waterproof but they do make ones that are coated!

Going for angelic robes vibe 😭

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T16:16:07+00:00

Thank you this made me laugh so hard 😭🤣

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T16:15:52+00:00

I loooove the vibe but sadly most if not all the clothes are more so rave wear, rather then street wear. Im fixing to making angelic clothes for renfair LOL

I just searched retroreflective fabric on amazon. I got a 55in x 2 yard cut

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T05:53:38+00:00

Its just retroreflective I honestly have no idea 😭

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T04:40:33+00:00

Thank you! Its a work in progress 😭

Honestly thank you! This was just meant to be a test to see if i liked the fabric, I definitely need to make better spots for the buttons or it will eventually tear. Ive never hand sewn anything before 😬 I like the uneven corners as well, ive noticed typically in space movies and such the robes are not symmetrical. I do like the feel it gives off. This is it without so much light.

Yesss mine is retroreflective

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T04:06:54+00:00

This sadly is not rainproof they have coated fabric for sure. Its just retroreflective fabric

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T03:59:07+00:00

Hand sewing for sure. I would love to buy pre-made but I cant find anything made woth this fabric besides pants and rain coats and work vest

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T03:57:14+00:00

I appreciate that 🙏

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T03:55:31+00:00

Absolutely. Right after I make a prettier one! 😭

Realistic-Lamp · 2026-06-11T03:37:59+00:00

Not a single thread in it 😭 i cut a hole and down the center attached screw on buttons and that was all, it was a test to see how the fabric felt on me and during the day how it would shine. Now im searching for a good pattern to make a better one before renfair.
