Uchiha Itachi from Naruto

Debuted: Halloween 2007

Awards: N/A

Itachi is an evil ninja in Naruto. He is working with a n evil team known as Akatsuki, and he is very powerful. My neighbor commissioned me to make Itachi’s cloak for her son who is a huge fan of the series. I was happy to comply!

 How I Made It

The cloak is altered from a Halloween costume of a reaper. I removed the hood and added a collar with scraps of black and red fabric. I stiffened it with polyfil and then cut the front of the cloak a bit. I used red ribbon for the trim down the front of the cloak and machine sewed the red clouds in bold white stitching. I used many references to make sure I got the shape and placement of the clouds just right.

After I dropped off the cloak, he tried it on and loved it! He wore it to several Halloween parties and other events surrounding Halloween. His mom was very pleased with my work.
