  • Here's what you'll need!
    EASY CIRCLE CAPE
    SUPPLIES
    Thick fabric (Fleece or felt are great)
    Scissors
    Fabric glue
    Needle
    Thread
    Button
    Sewing machine (optional)
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Measure the length of your arm. (neck to knuckles)
    Cut a string to that length, and tie on a piece of chalk.
    With a large piece of doubled up fabric, draw a half circle using the string and chalk.
    Cut out the half circle, and set aside the scraps to use for the collar.
    Fold the half circle into a quarter circle, and use the string again on the other end to cut a 5-inch hole for your head in the top.
    Unfold the half circle, and either glue the ends together with fabric glue, or sew with a sewing machine.
    Cut out the shape of collar you want for your cape. Sew or glue the edges together, leaving a small gap to inside out the fabric once dry.
    Stitch the collar into place on the top. Attach a button or decorative clasp to the collar.
    Cut and stitch a button hole to the other side of the collar.
    Enjoy your stylish new cape!

    This tutorial was very easy to follow! I was pleasantly surprised by the end result, especially since it wasn’t a very lengthy/timely project. I definitely thought it would look like it was quickly thrown together, but it actually turned out really nice. I received a lot of compliments on it! Thanks for the upload :)
    Edit: Since I see comments on fabric type, I used Blizzard Fleece fabric for my cloak.

    • @Vampkiki
      @Vampkiki 5 років тому +4

      Love the tutorial but a windy day or high moisture one and the fabric glue doesn't work. Fine to use in a rush for just chilly but dry weather, but a quick top stitch would add a finishing detail and some seam strength (a full proper seam stitch with a top stitch would be better if you have the time and machine obviously). But this is a great base for an expensive looking inexpensive piece. Adding a shoulder seam or doing it as a three piece capelet (one back piece sewn to two front sections), if you have wider shoulders or are plus sized will help with the fit. Adding a decorative trim to the bottom or faux fur on the bottom and top for added warmth and decoration are also good options. Hand holes or pockets may be added at the side (with or without contrasting trim). Even adding a print, patch, or embroidery to the back center or lapel area of the front will help personalize it and give it a more expensive feel.

      Half circle. You cut a half circle out of two layers of fabric and then sew/glue them together

    • @Vampkiki
      @Vampkiki 5 років тому +4

      Late to comment but may help others. This type has the front gap, so half circle is needed. For a full front closure that you can add buttons to, use a full circle and overlap slightly before sewing on the decorative collar. Add a hood with a half a yard of fabric cut in a half circle shape as well. ( The rounded side sewn to the collar opening, leaving the straight edge to frame your face.)

      You need the right fabrics for warmth. 100% real wool will be warmer, longer length, an actual hood, and overlapping button fronts help. They can also be lined with every thing from a pretty shiny finish, to full on fur lining. Waterproofed with a simple will spray. Etc. But then she would have to call it a Kinsale cloak.

  • @acorneroftheinternet4179
    @acorneroftheinternet4179 4 роки тому

    ew, no no no, do not use fabric glue for this! she was willing to sew the collar, she should sew the whole thing! also felt is very itchy, use some softer (and visually contracting) material for the lining unless you want red arms. a synthetic silk would work fine for the lining, and a heavy cotton for the outside would looks and feel better.
