Fairies, hobbits, super hero's, villains, queens, princesses and the like all need a cape to complete the outfit. Lucky for you that a cape is easy to make.

What You'll Need:

  • One yard of fabric, any color of your choice. Bolts of fabric have different widths, though, so the wider your bolt of fabric, the more flow the cape will have.

  • Scissors
  • A sewing machine or sewing kit.
  • Measuring tape
  • Chalk
Once you have all your materials, we can get started.
