It has what looks like a cloak on the front of the cover with no sleeves. Is this correct would I have to alternate it somewhat to make sleeves for this pattern?

Why would you want to use that pattern then have to alter it?
There are costume patterns of actual robes, if you keep looking.
Or someone will post some pattern numbers for you.

RE Siimplicity 5840 For one thing, don't use the pattern shown as the Jedi. It has an extra cape-let thing that has nothing to do with a Jedi Robe. You'd be better off using the blue robe the female model is wearing. Then make both the hood and the sleeves MUCH larger. RE McCall's 8936: You can use it if you follow Williqueen's instructions here: www.rebellegion.com/jedigarb/robe.html That is actually how I make my robes. I have a very old cloak pattern on which I based the robe pattern following the above instructions. |

The modification above is for a "Raglan" sleeve style, I think those were the EP I robes, but at least one of the robes shown later has set in sleeves with the shoulder tuck. "Raglan" sleeves are one of the easiest styles to sew, and are generally very easy to wear, as your shoulder width will be easily accomadated, great on wide shouldered people. I have also seen someone modify a clown pattern to a robe using a raglan sleeve style, that was fun to watch, they also use that pattern to make basic ladies chemises w/ drawsting necks, funnny what a few lines changed in a pattern can do. One of my favourite patterns to modifty, and I kid you not, I've used it for a size block mostly when I'm in a hurry, and have made at least a 100-150 completely different styles from it is a Simplicity Biblical Pattern, go figure! I've done entire shows in about 8 different time periods with just that stupid pattern!

egad....I almost forgot the other important modification I made to that robe pattern.... I took the yoke out by pinning the two pattern pieces of the main robe together.....and I made the hood MUCH larger.....  |

How do I modify the sleeves for pattern 5840? The jedi robes have no seam down the shoulder. There is only a seam up the armpit.

That is true of some, but not all robes. There are sleeve seams in some of the robes, and the styles have changed some from film to film. To do a robe with no sleeve seams, pin or tape the pattern pcs. together where the sleeve joins the shoulders or armholes, fold fabric to double the length of the back of the neck to the floor measurement, plus a few inches for a hem, cut side seams, cut sraight up front for center front opening, mark neckline curve, sew side seams, attach hood to neckline, hem sleeves & hem robe bottom, this might not make the most attractive style, and will not maybe have the flow & billow of a robe w/ set in sleeves, also, you'll need a pretty wide fabric to do it, unless you want a centerback seam. Doing a robe this way is very much like making a medieval "T" tunic, you cut the fabric in the shape of a "T" and then add neckhole & sew the sides.

The graphic that Jedi Kai posted is exactly the pattern I have. Just follow the outline of the pattern and you will have a robe with no shoulder seams. Just stitch the side and back seams, add the hood, and hem.  |
