Just been looking at the prices of the above items in an online shop.
they were charging 40 odd quid for an altar cloth, 70-90 for robes and around 70 for cloaks. i think this is taking the piss a bit, so i thought i would offer you lot my services!
i am a bit of an amateur clothes designer and make a lot of my own stuff.
i recon i can make alter cloths from about a fiver depending on the matierials and specification eg, my altar cloth is 1 metre square, in white (could be any colour) poly cotton mix £2 (add a fiver for egyptian cotton add £8 for cotton velvet) edged with a silver fringe £8 (edging from £2 for a simple one) with a silver tassel at each corner £2 and a thin ribbon sewn into a pentagram in one corner £1 so ot cost me £13. add the postage and bobs your muvvers brother!!
cloaks, shaped at shoulders hood or collar, loop and button fastening and reinforcement for cloak pin (see how i spoil you), fully lined in any colour taffeta, , in crushed velour about £20 add £30 for cotton velvet (sorry folks its abit pricey) could also be done in taffeta, silk, wool dont know how much though. will work on a design fo a half circle cloak if anyone is interested
robes, not designed as yet, am going to do my own in a sleeveless roman style, with a belt, in white egyptian cotton, will cost about £15 plus belt, will update.
generally all pricing , colours, trims etc depend on whether i can get them or not and at what price.
if anyone is interested give me a bell on, [email protected] and if you do want stuff i can check things out and get back to you.

There's no hurry hon, please don't think I was trying to speed you along, next week would be fine if you want. I heard London was a total nightmare, you poor thing.

its done and it looks well good!
the material i used was a total nightmare, it kept curling at the edges so it too me 3 hours to pin the hem and attach the backing grrrr, the rest took all of.. about 5 minutes!
