I shall make me a willow cabin at your gate and call upon my soul within the house; Write loyal cantons of contemned love and sing them loud even in the dead of night; Halloo your name to the reverberate hills and make the babbling gossip of the air cry out 'Victoria!'

HOW TO MAKE A GRYFFINDOR QUIDDITCH UNIFORM TUTORIAL

This project has been a long time in the making!

I'm not a huge artsy sewing person so I wanted to figure out the easiest way to create a Harry Potter Gryffindor Quidditch Uniform for under £100 ($155)

Being quite small in stature I figured the many kids harry potter costumes out there would fit me but I doubted they had the quality I was looking for.

So trawling through ebay to find red and yellow garments I found that hardly any exist, it's as if red and yellow as a colour combo is a no no! Finaly I found the spannish football shirt (2007ish) was a likely candidate. Simply sew the gryffindor badge over the top and there you go.

The rest was pretty easy to source. I figured jodhpurs would make a good quidditch trouser as riding a broom can be likened to riding a horse (in the areas of chaffing etc  )
As for pads the closest and cheapest I could find were in black but if push came to shove could always spray them with some brown paint.

Should probably add my uniform is very much unfinished as of yet and I made this tut whilst waiting for the sweater to arrive from america 

Once it's done i'll post up 

Quidditch Sweater and Homemade Firebolt

Hello peeps it's been a while, but hello 2k12 and the alleged "end of the world."

Nah.

So what's new? Well, just ordered a quidditch sweater from Alivans in the US... seems like the only place you can get them online in the entire world! also my dad is making me a firebolt! (so chuffed!)

Been trying to do a HP marathon which ended up as a big fail, only got through the first 3 films :(

New years resolution, write more blogs!

here's the picture of the day!
