How to Make a Cape

Measure, cut, fold and sew cape ties.

Rain Blanken
Cut two rectangles from the spare fabric, 10" x 3". Fold the two long edges of the rectangles to the center. Now fold the rectangles in half. Straight stitch along the open edge of the rectangle.

Next, you will finish up by stitching the ties to the cape.
