It's made from forest green and deep red polycotton. I wanted to make this as economically as possible as I needed 6 meters of each colour.
To make the cape a bit more interesting I machine embroidered trailing vines using a satin stitch up the entire length of the garment. Each panel was decorated separately before joining all the panels together. Once all the seams were sewn, including the hood, I then embroidered across the seams to ensure the pattern had good continuity across the cape.
I love capes with giant, oversized hoods!!
During the construction of this I thought, hey! this really should be reversible....... you know.......just in case....
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering which pattern you used for this cape. I keep finding patterns with very small hoods. And did you do something special to make it reversible?
Yes! I am wondering the same thing. I want a cape with a very large hood for my Red Riding Hood costume but can only find ones with a smaller hood.
ReplyDeleteYes please I'd love the pattern as well <3
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else, that hood is amazing and I would love to know how to make one just like it.
