Sew Hood to Cape

How to Make a Cape

Sitch hood to gathered cape and sew hood in half.

Lay the hood on the gathered end of the cape. The hood should be upside-down so that the hemmed edges are on top. The cape should be right-side up. Sew the cape to the hood.

Fold the hood with right-sides together and straight stitch along the top. Not loosely like last time. This should be a normal straight stitch that will hold it together.

Now your cape is assembled and you just need to make the ties for the neck.
