Step 5Making a Full Scale Pattern
In Step #2, I said we need paper scissors, glue and lots of paper.
Take you printer paper and glue them together so that you have a very large sheet. If you are lucky enough to have a large role of butcher paper of craft paper then that is even better. Newspaper works too. You want enough paper glued together that you can lay down on it and most of you will not touch the floor.
Take the Print out in Step #4 (See Picture #1).
Copy the pattern from the Printout onto the large sheet of paper using ACTUAL Dimensions. So if you wrote "55 inches" on the printout, then you DRAW a 55 inches line on the large sheet of paper.
After everything is drawn on the Large sheet of paper, Cut it out with paper scissors (See Picture #2). Why do I keep saying "paper scissors"? Cutting paper dulls a blade very quickly, because of that I have a pair of scissors dedicated to Fabric and another dedicated to Paper.
Picture #3 and #4:
If you are new to sewing just make the arm hole a Straight line. Notice my arm hole has a curve at the armpit, that is for a more fitted shape. To make it easier for noobs, just make a straight line. If you want to copy my pattern exactly, Pay Attention to Picture #4. if you do not, the Sleeve will not fit onto the Body.
NOT pictured is the Hood Pattern. The hood can be thought of as a rentangular piece of fabric.

I've made a hooded cloaks and robes before. I used full sheets of newspaper for the pattern. It worked perfectly, and is recycleable! Make more costumes or make paper mache'.
