Hi Everyone! I recently finished a wool plaid cape, made from a vintage 1964 Simplicity pattern. It’s lined with flannel-backed polyester lining, with gold-tone metal buttons down the front.
Things I loved about this project? It’s easy to sew a cape, since there aren’t very many seams and it doesn’t require a lot of fitting! Wearing a cape is so comfortable, like throwing on a blanket.
Because it was easy to sew, I spent more time cutting and matching the plaid, and pad-stitching the cape collar. I’m really happy with how this project turned out!

you look awesome!!! That's such an incredible cape! Once again, I'm blown away by your creations xxx
Thank you so much!! 🙂
i love your retro and vintage pics…. your designs are wonderful!
I do love it…you need some great fab cloves to go with your cape. Maybe even a beret and matching handbag.
Super cool! Love it!
