How to Make a Cape

Stitch ties to edges of cape.

Rain Blanken
Stitch one end of a tie to the inside edge of the cape. Repeat with the other side. Try on your finished cape and tie it around your neck.

  • You can add applique patches such as suns, fairies, and moons to personalize your cape.
  • For a rough look, cut jagged edges on the bottom of your cape.
  • In the case of a princess cape, you can add eyelet or ruffles to the edges.
