How to Make a Quality Toga
- 1). Wash and dry your wool fabric as you would normally. This shrinks the fabric.
- 2). Cut a long rectangle of wool fabric that between 4 and 6 feet wide and between 7 and 10 feet long. Togas were enormous lengths of cloth, and draping them was often a task reserved for slaves trained in the process.
- 3). Pin the edges of the fabric by turning down the raw edges twice, creating folds that are 1/4 inch deep both times, and securing them with a pin. This creates the hem.
- 4). Sew the hems flat, removing the pins as you go. This gives your toga a finished edge. At this point, the toga is ready to be worn.
