I just finished mine and I am so happy with how it turned out. It was quite easy, even though the pocktes were a pain in the ass, but the cape itself is just awesome! I added a little button on the top, to make it a little more secure and I didn't even buy some wool, I just used a blanket I found (this may be interesting for people on a budget). Thank you for the diy, Wendy, you're awesome!

this was by far the simplest diy for pockets ive ever seen. i love the diys on this channel becuase theyre always very easy to follow for projects that would otherwise seem overwhelming

@Momoshi42 8 жыл бұрын

I really hope you could show the finished piece properly in every direction at the end of video. I didn't really understood how the scarf part works or how it looks like on front.

Made a wool cape and got to wear it for the first time on last weekend's Chicago roadtrip. Skip the pockets if you want this to be much easier. Happy watching, happy sewing, happy travels, happy Thanksgiving! For the Americans ;)

Hey Wendy, This is the best cape/poncho online so far, and you uploaded this a year ago! I have made this cape twice now, and I have 3 tips for future seamstresses attempting this: 1) add lining to the scarf piece 2) internal/concealed pockets were more useful and easier than external slit pockets 3) double-fold hem is better with wool coating fabric.
