Hello and thank you for looking at my tutorial on how to make a Krueger Jacket off Wes Craven's New Nightmare. This tutorial isn't necessarily aimed at a Krueger Jacket- you can make a normal jacket using these same steps.
Since I couldn't find enough reference pictures to make an EXACT copy of the jacket, I decided to play around a bit and just make it simple. Since you may be reading this and thinking I'm crazy, here what the end result should look like:
Since, as you can see, it really isn't much of a reference, I decided to make the jacket with these requirements:
~Split tails ending at the butt
~Inside is green and red
~Outside is black
~Long, almost like a trenchcoat
It's not going to be exact, but let's have fun!
Now, let's get started on my tutorial!
Materials needed:
2 fabrics- I chose black and a green/red striped cloth
A t-shirt that is not too tight- bigger is better. You won't be cutting it up, so don't worry. For this, I chose my Galley-La shirt
Chalk. I got this awesome chalk thing in my sewing basket that I bought at a clothing store.
Scissors dedicated ONLY to sewing fabrics. If you have some scissors that you use for school, get a new pair. I got mine at a sale at Jo-Anns fabric store
Pins- lots of them- I used over 500 at once
Thread and a needle (didn't take pictures of these- let's hope you know what they are)
Plus any other accessories you may want to put on your jacket when you complete it.
Part 2- Making the Pattern and Cutting out the pieces
Part 3- Trying on and Trimming
