This is my first time sowing any type of clothing. I bought a cape pattern and found it extremely hard to work with. I love how you explained this in simple terms for beginners like me to understand. I greatly enjoyed your video. Thank you for posting.

I followed your video and managed to finish a cape! I love the collar piece, it makes even my knee length cape look refined. I also used wool and really appreciated tips on how to work with it, I had never used wool before and had no idea what I was getting myself into. Thanks for a great video!

It will be very helpful for me if u share your body measurement for this cape in this tutorial and also how many yards of fabrics you have taken.thank you

@indoorshannon 2 жыл бұрын

The pattern can be drafted based on your own neck measurements and how you would like it to fit, overlap, etc. are you looking for the measurements I specifically used? I used 2 yards of wool, 2 yards of lining. Here is a link to the blog post with written details www.indoorshannon.com/sew-a-simple-chic-cape-sew-along-and-tutorial/

Thank you for the video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a question: Why did you use 23inches for the collar length (at 7:03) and not 20inches as you decided at the beginning?

@indoorshannon 2 жыл бұрын

Great question and I apologize for the confusion. I filmed the beginning much later than the rest of the video and used 20” to demonstrate how I measured around my neck (I should have made sure that matched my pattern I had made months prior 🤦🏼‍♀️). I actually used the 23 inches for my pattern piece so that it would overlap quite a bit and still sit comfortably around my neck. Hope that helps

Thank you so much Bonnie - any fabric with more structure should work well-maybe a velvet, faux fur, etc might be a good option or a suiting fabric for lighter weight

I have an existing circle skirt from a dress. The fabric is velvet and would be the perfect cape. Not sure how to make the waist portion small for my neck 😢. Trying to use this video for tips.

@indoorshannon 6 ай бұрын

That sounds like a great upcycle - after creating your pattern from the tutorial, try cutting it out on the existing skirt- hopefully the skirt is large enough to fit your new pattern - hope that helps

@l.a.w.79 6 ай бұрын

@@indoorshannon it’s huge!!!! I didn’t want to take apart the skirt. I just wanted to work on the waist part and make it smaller to go around my neck. I’m having some issues. I know that it can be done. I just have to take my time and consider how much sewing I would have to do on the existing part of the skirt. I wanted to keep the hem of the skirt in place. However, I might have to cut the entire thing.

Hi! i wanted to make a super duper long one for a halloween costume, and I'm 6'4(tall lady), ideally it would be about a foot or so off the ground. I am really struggling with doing the double fold and getting my pattern right, as the fabric isn't long enough. What would you suggest I do?

@indoorshannon Жыл бұрын

Hi there, that would be challenging for that length and width with the full circle. You could just cut two half circles and do a seam in the back or you could use something like a bedsheet for fabric that’s really wide.

I would draft the full circle skirt pattern with neck measurement, then just cut in half, adding in center back seam allowance where you will sew the two panels together-

How much fabric should I start with?

@indoorshannon Жыл бұрын

It will depend on the size cape you are making and the length you want- a cape like the one I made in the video will roughly be 2-3 yards depending on the width of fabric
