I was actually getting ready to just finish up some of the ones I started. Most are not the best (silk) fabric, but may be usable. I expect to finish over the Memorial Day weekend. I'll post something here when ready to put on the junkyard.
SO much better than that new toy versionView attachment 1338202View attachment 1338203View attachment 1338204
I made a cloak with a removable green screen lining for someone & thought you might like to see it.

Hi, I might be mistaken but I remember looking into this a long time ago and I believe the curtain fabric was specifically printed for the films. Would be really interested if you end up finding out more on them!New to this site but just wanted to commend you lmellies on this amazing cloak!
And I have a question... Does anyone know about the fabric used for the bed curtains in the boys' Gryffindor dormitory?
It was red velvet with celestial gold embroidery.
Was it specially made for the films? Or commercially available? Or has anybody seen anything similar?
I will start a separate thread on this too.
Thanks all!
I am pretty sure its screen printed or stamped/imprinted with silver ink/paint. You could probably get a similar effect using the same technique as the person who created the invisibility cloak above. Stencil templates with silver paint on velvet. I was also obsessed for a hot minute trying to get my hands on some of this fabric haha. Would love to recreate the pattern and have a company print it on fabric..don't know how much silver ink would cost though...Hi jndemar,
Thanks... Hmm, I feared as much, commercial availability (particular given the intervening decades) was a long shot!
I was at the London studio again recently (for the third time) and it really looked embroidered. I couldn't get particularly close of course, let alone touch it, but if it was printed then the effect is really good.
(The common room "tapestries" were definitely printed, not that you'd know on camera.)
Thanks for the image!
I'll dig out my photos (on a proper camera) so see if that illumates the printed v. embroidered question.
I'm interested in recreating an atmosphere with authentic materials, and willing to forgo exact replicas, so I might investigate bespoke embroidery!
Ha ha, I'm in that same hot minute at the moment!I am pretty sure its screen printed or stamped/imprinted with silver ink/paint.
