Dr. Strange Costume Tutorial: Cape
So finally getting back to the Dr. Strange costume tutorial with the cape. And as much as I like the comic book version of the cape with the gold stripes, I decided to go ahead and create the movie version instead.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Red fabric (I used a little over 3 yards, but you may need more depending on your height)
Checkerboard fabric for the lining (same amount as cape)
1 foot of textured fabric for trim
6 inches of pellon (and long enough to go around your collar)
Pins
Sewing machine or fabric glue
Needle and gray thread (to sew on silver clasps at collar)
Scissors
It’s difficult to find exact matches for the materials used on the cape, so just find the closest you can. The design is pretty recognizable, so the textures don’t have to be an exact match. There were also several different textures and prints on the back, I just simplified it a lot, and narrowed it down to the just the two types of material to make it easier for this Dr. Strange costume tutorial.
The checkerboard pattern on the lining actually has more colors and a bigger pattern than the fabric that I used, but this was the closest I could find in my local fabric store. This cape does require a fair bit of sewing, but if you’re not confident with a sewing machine, you can always just fabric glue everything together.

This is a great tutorial! I like how it is pattern-less and simple. Room. For embellishment but looks so great as is.
Thanks 😊 Glad you enjoyed it.
I need some extra help making my Doctor Strange costume. I’ve complete the Eye of Agamotto. Only 4 parts to go on mine.
The Eye is probably the hardest part, so you’ve got that behind you. If you’ve got any questions on the other parts, let me know, and I can help ya out.
