Don’t you wonder what those early settlers used to cut cloth if they didn’t have scissors? Pins and needles must have been so precious to those housewives. Thank you so, so much for this tutorial. Easy to follow and takes all the worry out of making a cape for decorating.

There's just something about a Patriot in a cape and a tricorn hat!!

You are very creative… thanks Bridgette! 🌷

You have so many talents, sweet Bridgett. Great video.

Well how fun was this?! Thank you Bridgett

I am going to Joann’s today to get my material to make this wonderful cape! Thank you Bridgett! That was a great tutorial and keep your Chanel going! You are my favorite on utube!!!❤❤❤

Bridgett when I saw the heading I got paper and pen so I could write everything down . Amazing job and so well explained !!! You have made it a doable and taken the scary out of it 😊!!!Thank you so much for showing us how us how you do your capes. Have a wonderful weekend .

Oh Bridgett you did such a Fantastic job on your cape. Your instructions were perfect. Your moma should be so proud of you. As she taught you well. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I would love to make one if I had a sewing machine. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening my sweet friend and stay safe. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much I just love you and your mom great channel

Great tutorial Bridgett! You make it look so easy. I wish I was that good with a sewing machine. I spend most of the time fighting with the machine when I try to sew. 😂 You’ve inspired me to try to pick up sewing again, though. ❤

This is a must try Bridgett. Thank you!

Oh my goodness I’m going to the craft store tomorrow and do this! Thanks so much for the video. It looks pretty easy. I’ll probably use the sticky tape I can iron on to take care of the edges. I don’t have a machine so I’ll have to hand sew it all together. Can’t believe it looks so easy. Love all your capes colors. Very nice. Looks like a life size cape. Thanks Bridgette.

Thanks Bridget for sharing your talent with us. ❤️😊

These are really cute!! Thank you!!

Very cool! You need quilting pins with the yellow heads. Or you can use the new plastic clips that everyone uses. But that cape looks great.

You are a great teacher , thank you.

I will be saving this video....thank you for the tutorial....it really does look pretty simple, so if I can figure out where I can use one in my decor, I'll be making one. UPDATE: Since we don't have a Joann's in town, I quickly checked Hobby Lobby and they had one partial bolt of brown flannel (the color I wanted) and this week was 40% off, so I dashed out and was able to get my 2.5 yds.....now on the first slow day I have, I'll be making myself a Colonial cape.....I know just where I'm going to hang it too. 😍

Thank you for the tutorial on the cape. You Mama taught you well about finishing hems. ❤

Bridgett, I love all your videos! I truly enjoy every one of them. Your DIY videos are really fun, this one was very helpful as I have been wanting a cape to hang with my Tricorn hat. I was going to buy one. Now, thanks to you, I will make my own! Looking forward to your next video.❤

Love this Bridgett. You really simplified it for us non-sewers! I will definitely do this because I love the look!

That was very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Love this project! Thanks for sharing with us! I can’t wait to make one!

Thank you so much Bridget for this wonderful tutorial. I’ve wanted one of these forever, so tomorrow I’m off to Jo Ann’s. You’re a great teacher. Lol

I love this project!! I’m definitely going to make one! You are so clever!❤

Bridgett you are amazing! I'm really impressed. ❤❤❤

Thanks Bridgett, you were fast getting this tutorial out! Very easy instructions too, and I'm definitely going to make one. I laughed when you talked about your Mom and folding the fabric over the 2nd time for hemming. I could hear my own Mom saying the same ❤

How easy was that and adds such character. Thanks so much Bridgett!!

Awesome video Bridgett. I’m not sure my machine would go through that many layers. But I’m willing to try it.

What a wonderful tutorial!!! Love the look of it!!!

Hi Bridget, you are such a talented woman. Thank you so much for sharing.❤

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. I am so excited to try this soon.

Thank you, Bridget for such a clear, step-by-step video on how to make a colonial cape. I have wanted one for a long time. Mine is almost complete. My sewing machine cannot handle the thickness of the last step, putting the cape into the collar. My friend who is an upholsterer is going to stitch that part for me. It is ready to go.

Great job Bridgett the capes are awesome!

Thank you so much Bridgett!!! Who knew you could make these yourself and you make it look so easy❤❤ thanks for another amazing video

I have seen these capes and wondered about them. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern with us. I think they look so great in a primitive/colonial home!

Thanks so much Bridgett, I just love how your capes look! Seems easy enough, I will definitely make one thanks to you!❤️Maddalena

Thank you Bridgett for the Colonial cape tutorial, you made it look so simple. I've purchased a couple of wool capes from Townsend and Sons and they are so heavy, big and bulky to hang on peg racks, barely have any room to hang anything else. I have a little peg rack in a bedroom needing something long and slim and this cape will be the right fit. Love your videos and I'm so happy to have found you on KZfaq, as I too have a Williamsburg Colonial home. Take care from Arizona 🌵

Yet another talent from you? We are so fortunate to have you take the time to walk us through how to make a colonial cape. I have also made a shorter one for early in the season. Also how cute would a child's size look hanging on the peg? Bridgett you are a treasure. Thank you so much. And the beat of history goes on!!!

Great idea! It adds a lot of character to a room.

I made a black cape and my husband loves it for his snug. I hemmed it all by hand but used the machine to attach the collar to all the pieces. It was fun!

Yea another Bridget video❤❤❤❤

Thanks so much Bridgett!...I have always wanted one but they were expensive!...You made it look easy and doable!..I love all you videos!....Hugs!..

Beautiful!!! It looks so authentic!! Thank you so much for the instructions. Blessings.

This was amazing! Thanks so much 💜

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! I will definitely be making 2 of these for my peg rack! Can you teach us how to make santas?

Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Love your tours.

Well you made that look easy. Hopefully my limited sewing skills can do that. That would save at of money.

You are an excellent teacher! Fantastic video! As an experienced seamstress your direction were perfect, clear, and concise! Love the how to videos please keep them coming! In other videos of your home I wondered where you purchased the capes, I even looked in Williamsburg when I was there recently, now I know 😂 Wow you are one talented lady!

Thank you so much for showing us now to make the capes!!!! Now I need to go fabric shopping 🛒 ❤

I don't sew but I'm going to try this! Thank you!!

Well, I never knew I wanted to make a cape until now!! Excellent tutorial, very easy to follow 😃

Thank you for that tutorial on sewing a cape! You make it look so easy! I love everything you share with us! ❤️

You're a natural born teacher very easy to understand. I sure wish you still sold them I'd be the first in line to buy one!

I enjoyed your tutorial Bridgette. You made all the steps so easy to follow. Now to get sewing

Thanks Bridgett. One cape coming up. You made my day again.

Love watching your videos. My eyes kept looking at that trencher dough bowl. Thank you for your videos. You make life happier.

Thank you for sharing your tips to make a cape. They look so authentic and are such great decor pieces. This is another great video for those who sew and those who are learning.

Love it!!

Thanks again for teaching us how to do this. Simple enough and such a frugal way to achieve the look. Appreciate all the techniques you share.

Well, wasn’t that easy! Can’t wait to make one as my husband has been wanting one to hang in his ‘snug’. Heading to Hobby Lobby in the morning! Thank you for this video.

Bridgett ..... this is amazing. You are so generous to show this fabulous tutorial video. You have so much talent

What a nice tutorial. I think it was lovely that your shared this with us. I want to make one soon.

Thank you for a great video. Your instructions were so easy to follow. Can’t wait to make one of these!!

Great video, Bridgett! Thank you so much for explaining the directions so well. Love how pretty your capes look when hanging on a corner or a peg rack.

Love this !! Thank you for sharing how to make this.

Wow !!! What a neat tutorial. I'm going to make this.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, Bridgett. It is "sew, sew simple." Just love it.

Thanks for showing us how to make a cape. It looks really good. It really helped to see you actually walk us through each step. Your Mama has taught you well. You are so talented. Enjoyed this video so much. Thanks Bridgett.

That was a fun project and seeing your shelves behind you, perfect.

AWESOME tutorial...easy to follow and now, off to make one or two....etc... :) I was always eyeing yours and wondered how to make them. I'm so excited to get busy on mine...:) TY and God Bless...~!!!

Thank you for being so generous with this tutorial! I can’t wait to try my hand at making a cape😊

Even though I don’t sew Bridgett, I enjoyed watching you make your cape.😊

So impressed!! Great totorial! I don't decorate with primitive but love your videos!!

Great video, thanks for sharing your tricks of the trade ❤

Thank you for the tutorial! Great project. ❤

Thanks so much for sharing this♥️. I love capes, love to sew, have lots of fabric and going to try this! Great instructions, you did an awesome job at explaining each step, now write it down and give it a try! Debby, NY

Loved your tutorial was looking for one on a cape. I did your tutorial on the bee scapes, and they came out beautiful.❤

Love this! Just a note too, I think the flannel throws they have at stores might work for this too! They are 5 dollars each and sometimes less. I might try using two of them for this project. Those too would save some sewing since they are blanket stitched around the edges. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Bridgette, Thanks so much for sharing this great cape design with us. Now I just need to find a little extra time to make 1 or 2 or 3…. I love Prim and country decorating. I also have a channel. I’d love it if you could check it out sometime, if you have a chance.🤎

Love the capes! Can you tell me when is the Springfield antique show is in the Spring? Went to the Christmas one and loved it.

Wow Bridgett again you make everything look so easy. I wish I had a sewing machine never touched one but what a great idea. Did your mom teach you this or did you come up with it?

Thank you for the tutorial! This is something that i would make and hang in my home! I was wondering if there is anything that you do not like that is Primitive? Like I don't like old clothes or somebody else's old photos displayed in my home. Just curious if others have something that they don't like displayed in their homes. Also anything that is your favorite. 😊 Mine is tables. I love old tables.

Hi Bridget, was just wondering if you had any videos on make do chairs?

Do you make your own bonnets or prairie dresses?

Bridgette when you used felt or fleece did you still hem it or just leave the raw edge?
