I sewed a Wolfkiller Cloak!

I have been a fan of Lestat's Wolfkiller Cloak for 30 years(!!) so when it made a surprise appearance in season 2 of Interview with the Vampire I just knew I would be sewing one for myself.

It looks incredible in the show, but then we also got to see more of it in better lighting during the short, behind the scenes "Episode Insider" for the episode. Essentially, this is a calf-length, blood-red velvet cape with an additional, elbow-length capelet on top, and a fur-lined hood.

But having made capes in the past, I realised that they are really impractical to wear due to limited arm mobility and having either your arms or body freeze through the openings.

So instead of sewing exactly what I saw on screen, I realised I could instead sew a swing coat + little capelet on top with fur-lined hood! And even better - make the capelet removable via hooks at the neckline so that they could be worn together or separately. This was a Eureka! moment for me. I wanted to make something that is somewhat authentic to the look of the original, but also practical to wear as an every day winter coat!

After quite a few muslins, I settled on the Charm Patterns Swing Coat (with some modified sleeves), and a self-drafted capelet (similar to my earlier cape from Claudia S1 NYE look) with a fur-lined hood. I drafted the hood pieces so that the fur lining is longer and wraps around the opening edge. This makes the fur more visible when its down around the shoulders, as in the show.

I used 5m of burgundy velvet and 0.5 m of Arctic Grey Wolf faux fur from CRS Fabrics (UK) - the fur itself was £60/m(!!) so I'm extremely pleased the show version wasn't entirely lined in fur like the book description (scroll down for more on that!). I underlined it for warmth using cotton flannel to block the wind, and found an incredible dark grey skull jacquard lining fabric at Mood Fabrics (US).

The swing coat pattern only has one button at the neck, so I made it count! I found the most perfect wolf head button on ebay and adjusted my bound buttonhole accordingly, but it really is the best statement button I could've ever asked for! The rest of the front opening is closed with enamel hooks and hidden thread bars to not distract from the clean lines when worn open.

In all, this took me about 6 weeks to sew and I am SO chuffed with how it turned out. I usually only take daytime photos for my sewing in order to best show off the details and seamlines, but for this I couldn't resist an additional nighttime shoot, too.

Even better - after I posted it to Instagram, the costume designer for the show, Carol Cutshall, not only said she loves it, but revealed a new piece of iwtv lore - they originally tried the cloak entirely lined in fur, but it was too heavy for Sam to move in!! (Which I can totally believe because mine is super heavy even with a lightweight lining!)

Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement) ___ This pauldron is made of mourningsteel, a metal sometimes found below ancient battlegrounds. A tattered capelet bearing a crest hangs from it. You gain a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this pauldron. In addition, whenever you roll initiative and aren’t surprised, you can immediately move up to 30 feet without provoking opportunity attacks, provided your speed isn’t 0. While moving in this way, you can move through another creature’s space, regardless of its size, and such a creature’s space isn’t considered difficult terrain for you. Your appearance becomes slightly ghost-like for the duration of this movement; you can force one creature you move through in this way to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 3d6 force damage on a failed save. While wearing the pauldron, you also have advantage on saving throws against effects from undead. The pauldron has the spirits of 10 long-lost souls trapped within its metal. While wearing it, you can use the pauldron’s following properties by calling upon the trapped souls; these properties use a spell attack bonus of +9 and spell save DC of 17. The pauldron regains the use of 1d8 + 2 spirits daily at dawn. 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨. You can use an action to cast either the “guardian of faith” (4 spirits) or “spirit guardians” (3 spirits) spell from the pauldron. The spells appear as a ghostly formation of stalwart soldiers or a swirling whirlwind of weaponry, respectively. 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚. When you take damage from another creature you can see within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to use 1 of the pauldron’s spirits to make a melee spell attack against the triggering creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 + 4 force damage, and you gain 10 temporary hit points. 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙎𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢. As an action, you can use 3 or more spirits from the pauldron to create a formation of ghostly soldiers. The soldiers appear in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 feet of you. Treat the soldiers as a Large undead swarm: they can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa... ... Continued in the comment below! ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

Finally. After 20 years of being squirreled away in a bag, waiting for me to finish it. It’s DONE.

I fell in love with this shawl/capelet/thing at a trunk show that this yarn company was having at the LYS (Local Yarn Shop). It was knit up in a color I didn’t care for, but the patterning and construction intrigued me, so I got the yarn and the pattern, and started.

For some reason, I put it aside. Then Life happened and the bag it was in got placed into one of those big plastic bins, along with my stash. And that was put into the garage/storage at the new digs. Where it sat for at least 4 presidential administrations.

I brought it upstairs into my room where it sat for another 3 years.

Then, this past summer, I got it out, reread the pattern, got back into the groove, finished the mitered square black and grey trim, did the finishing, blocked it and now it’s done.

It’s almost cool enough to wear this in the morning when I leave the house at 5:30 in the gahtdamn morning, I open the front door to leave the house, immediately shut the door and say “Oh, HELL no!” and reach up to the top shelf to grab my new piece to throw on because it’s not yet cold enough for a coat or heavy jacket.

Picture a wide V shape. On the right side is a wide basketweave pattern. On the other side is a smaller basketweave pattern. That’s the thing that caught my fancy. And the trim.

The sample I saw was dark red and a brown. “Autumn” colors. Not attractive to me at all. I chose black, which looks dark charcoal here, but trust me: it’s black. And added grey for the trim. And did one corner in a red stripe instead of grey.

Why? Because.

One day soon, I’ll spread it out and take a photo of the whole piece and throw it in here, but for now…here ‘tis:

Btw ur “Romani redesign” of Wanda has nothing to do with actual Romani traditional clothing it’s purely based on stereotypes I recommend researching Kalderash traditional clothing (that’s most likely her vista/subgroup) and romani caricatures (searching “[insert g-slur] costume” is a good start) to avoid this in the future

Here’s a Pinterest board my friend made (look at the Romani designed section): https://www.pinterest.co.uk/hannahperson1/wanda-maximoff

Here’s a photography thing of a Romani community in Romania: https://www.thefader.com/2010/08/30/photo-faces-of-the-roma https://jeremysuttonhibbert.photoshelter.com/gallery-collection/C0000JCPLrqL3xbs

Here’s the Getty images thing for it: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/photos/kalderash-roma

And here’s the linktree to a Romani tiktoker/youtuber/activist you can learn a lot from https://linktr.ee/florida.florian

Hey there! Thanks so much for the shout out. I checked out your friends Pinterest board and found almost every element I had put into my version of Wanda, I also looked up Romani people and Romani looks before I started working on my piece, so as much as I always appreciate an open dialogue on my work, you came at me slightly spicy. Not sure where you read that she’s most likely Kalderash, I can only assume that’s what you *think* her roots are, which is fine, you can absolutely draw a version of that. Things to keep in mind though:

This is a drawing of a superhero, so some elements will be lifted or exaggerated. A billowing shirt with a capelet and a corset, with a spiked hair wrap and gold accessories isn’t exactly pushing any offensive stereotypes. If you see them, then I can categorically tell you that wasn’t the intention. I very much enjoy Wanda and wanted to pay tribute to her and her Romani characterisation past and future.

Almost all of the colour scheme (for me) had to be red, as she’s the scarlet witch, with accents of black and gold to keep with her previous looks, so while of course there are much more colours in Roma clothing, I was working on a very limited palette.

She is a fictional character who has had her origins and lineage changed a few times, her most recent origin has placed her in Serbia, which would probably make her closer to The Chergashe, which is a subgroup of the Kalderash (although not all were) but again, she’s a fictional character, with cultural significance which has been ignored by writers and artists throughout history (thankfully that’s changing now).

I’ll absolutely take your “friendly advice” on board, but will impart some to you in summary:

If you are going to approach someone with snark and air quotes, with reference boards for them to check over, best have a look at them yourself first, because when most of the elements in my piece are on your pals board, I struggle to see why you took the time to come at me.

Peace and love ✌️

I scored a bunch of cheap authentic silk via eBay by buying damaged sari fabric from India and I feel so fucking smug about it you have no idea. Silk usually runs you at least $25-30 a yard, and I've been thinking of making a coat with capelet that requires 6 yards of fabric.

I've been wanting to make it with natural fabric to any extent possible, which means wool on the outside and silk on the inside. Well, wool is also very expensive, so I was looking at spending a shit ton of money on a project where I'd very likely screw up because I'm not very good at sewing.

But I found this seller in India who sells damaged sari silk at a steep discount, and I tested it upon getting it to make sure, but I'm 99% sure it's the real deal. So 5 yards of one pattern cost me $19, so I ended up buying... 20 yards, lol. I love recycling stuff that would otherwise go to waste while also saving money while also getting to use authentic silk on a project.

Finished the ripple capelet today, maybe? I had to buy more yarn to make the hood and once that's done, I'm sure I'll be tempted to use the rest to make it a bit longer

But anyway!

It's 40 rows and took a little under three skeins of Premier Puzzle Backgammon yarn. I switched to new skeins at the beginning of rows vs. mid-row, so I have three small balls of yarn left over. So $19.38 total, including tax, or $25.84 with the fourth skein for the hood. Not too bad!

Still need to sew in the ends and block it. Depending on how much I end up wearing it, I might add a fleece lining for winter

I already kind of want to make another one but I have two shorter ones (~30 rows) made from the same pattern, so if anything, I guess I could lengthen one of those (gold or black) instead of starting a new one from scratch. Though a dark green or red one would be nice...

[OBEY ME] Decades of Fashion

This was a project I've been working on for a while, but it required a LOT of research to get done.

The idea was this: The boys have lived for thousands of years, and as such, they've had to adhere to certain fashion changes over time. But in the midst of me really wanting to show Beel drinking Pepsi Blue, I realized that each of them really fit into a style over the course of seven decades.

[PLEASE BE WARNED I MAY TOUCH ON CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS HERE]

Lucifer - 1940's [Post-War Americana]

Oh boy, those coats were popular in the 20's and 30's. I thought Lucifer worked well with the vibe of an old-style gangster. But really, this look worn in the 40's would have been one of showing off wealth. During the second world war, we had a shortage on EVERYTHING, including fabric - when nylon was needed for parachutes, women used to draw makeup lines on the backs of their legs to indicate a seam where their stockings would go. As a result, suits in the 40's were trimmed back as far as fabric usage. Coats no longer had capelets around the shoulders, jackets no longer had flaps on the pockets, pants were restricted to a certain width, and 3-piece suits were nonexistent - no one sold suits with vests anymore.

Incidentally, that's why Zoot Suits were so popular in American minority communities - it was a "fuck you" level of luxury to have suits with so much excess fabric!

Mammon - 1950's [Rebel Style]

From gangster to greaser! While we associate Greaser subculture with the likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando, the term actually originated with Hispanic teens - "greaser", in addition to referencing their slicked-back hairstyles, was the name for Mexican workers who greased the wheels of shopping carts, and there was actually a law in California called the "Greaser Act" specifically put in place to protect "law abiding" Californians from these rowdy (but un-armed and non-dangerous) teens.

Not only does the Rebel style really suit Mammon in general, associated with sleek cars and loud boys and an inarguable style, but I've always thought of Mammon as being kind of Latino. However, it also bears noting that Greasers were very anti-materialistic. Sure, you wanted money, but Greaser culture was more geared towards rebelling against the ones who had it.

Leviathan - 1960's [Japanese Ivy]

Post-war Japan had a certain loss of identity as they were occupied by the American military and exposed to cultures from around the world. But by the sixties, Japanese culture was absorbing everything it found and making it their own. The popularity of Disney and TV animation gave rise to anime that began early in the fifties, but was really in its prime by '65, and much of that then spread to the rest of the world. Mach Go Go Go became Speed Racer and Mighty Atom became Astro Boy in the US.  In partIcular, based on Levi's current anime tastes, I think he'd be a huge fan of Cyborg 009 and Mahoutsukai Sally - The original Magical Girl who would eventually lead to the creation of the invented anime The Magical Ruri Hanai: Demon Girl.

But along with animation, Japan absorbed something else in 1964 - American Ivy League fashion. Magazines with spreads of American university students in sweaters, blazers, loafers, and cotton trousers became incredibly popular and inspired a fashion style simply called "Ivy" in Japan - and this style persisted until the mid-eighties!

Satan - 1970's [Collegiate]

'70's fashion in America was lawless. As the youth of the day broke free from society's constraints and pursued their own agendas, they brought with them a rebellion of peace and love that had been brewing with every fight and war since the 40's. As opposed to the Mod fashion of the 60's, modern fashion was more about comfort and natural colors.... and bellbottoms. So many bellbottoms. But there were no fucking rules. Wear your jacket on one shoulder or two or none, mix colors and patterns, wear that corduroy jacket with the suede elbow patches, fuck you dad, I went to college!

I feel like it also bears mentioning that god DAMN, white belts with gold buckles were weirdly popular.

Asmodeus - 1980's [Pop Trend]

Pop culture was skyrocketing in the eighties, as was the sheer accessibility of fashion. It was never as cheap to wear the hottest trends as it was here. Stars like Madonna popularized the inexpensive, bright-colored messes of style that the day's teens HAD to have. Plastic jewelry, acid-washed jeans, hair-wrecking crimping and curling, bright and heavy makeup... and leotards for EVERYONE. Jazzercise and videotape aerobics also threw their hats in... or rather, their leg warmers and tights.

And while it doesn't have much to do with fashion, I could see Asmo being at his absolute prime here... Queer community and sexuality was coming out of hiding around here, and with it, the stigma and horror associated with the gay agenda, promiscuity, and the AIDS epidemic. Fuck those assholes.

Beelzebub - 1990's [Urban Sport]

The 90's were... experimental. As we entered the Internet age and the approach of the new millennium, a lot of shit happened. Hip-Hop and R&B culture that began in the late eighties influenced a lot outside its own minority sphere, from fashion to music to celebrity. Things once worn as sport gear, windbreakers and basketball shoes and baseball hats, were adapted to the increasing physical presence of stars in music videos and movies. (I don't really know how much of a position I'm in to talk about how much cultural appropriation inspired a lot of that, but it did. And then they talked smack on the sources they got their shit from.)

As for those stupid parachute pants with the zip-off bottoms... I don't know whose fault that was. The Y2k bug, I guess. Swatches were cool though.

But Beelzebub probably would have been going nuts with all the experimental snack foods we loved back then. Soda with little chewable balls of questionable origin? 3D nacho chips? Yogurt in a TUBE? HOT POCKETS!? A glutton's paradise. I drank Crystal pepsi when they rereleased it and it tasted like old bubblegum. shit's nasty.

Belphegor - 2000's [Emo/Goth]

This is it. This is what years of punk, grunge, goth, and The Cure led to at the turn of the millennium. We took Tripp pants that were popular in blue denim in the nineties and put so much shit on them that it was hard to walk, but we DID IT. Because it looked cool. Do you hate life? Do you hate everyone? Smear liner in your eyeballs and belt your legs together in two denim dresses, and wear bracelets and belts that get banned at high school because someone started an urban legend where you have to have sex with someone if they snap your black jelly bracelet off. That shit never happened but damn if they didn't try to convince us it did.

Emo and goth subculture was actually seen as pretty toxic. And I can say that because I was in it. People who did this stuff were seen as idolizing self-harm and suicide. Some people actually did. Most of us probably approached it the same way zoomers gleefully post memes about ending themselves all the time. In Belphegor's case... yeah, he probably does hate the world.

Thank you so much to my patrons who made this post possible!
