    I have 2 mins to go to complete this tutorial and I have learned so much in the 6 mins 53 secs I've completed so far. You did a great job with making sure its "dumbed" down to make sense to people like myself that aren't seamstresses. THANK YOU!!! Looking forward to hearing your actual cape tutorial. Have a great day!!!

    This tutorial is great! Could you, perhaps consider using a darker background when you make patterns please? It would be a little easier to see the difference between the pattern paper and the working surface. Thank you so much ^__^

      +songbyrd0001 Thanks for the feedback. We are working on getting a darker background for pattern tutorials. Make sure you're not watching on your phone for this video and if you can, make sure to view in HD. You can change it in the settings cog in the video player. Because of the size of the pattern we had to pull back pretty far to show it. Next time we can also try to use a thicker marker. Thanks for watching.

    It would be really nice if the sizes where also shown in Centimeters, so it would be easier to follow for people who don't use the Imperial system. Still a great video!

    This came up in my suggestions a few months ago on UA-cam. I saved it for once I graduated college. Well I graduated a couple of weeks ago and my young friend I am teaching to sew canceled on me today. So today is the day! I need to get it made before we go on vacation in a couple of weeks. It has been a lon time since I drafted a pattern Thank you for making it so easy to follow.

    Thank you for this tutorial. I used the concept and adapted it to make a hooded capelet for my daughter's wedding. It had a jeweled collar and a scooped opening in the back and it was the perfect substitute for the traditional veil!

    Where did you get the measurements for the neck. Also if my finished cloak is 48 then I should add 5” to that on the paper? I agree with the other comments a black marker would have showed up better.. Great video!

    What made you choose 7 1/2" for the neck mark on the cloak pattern? And where did you get the 11 7/8" mark for the hood pattern?

    • @tsquiggles7931
      @tsquiggles7931 6 років тому +6

      So I know this is a year late (I just found this tutorial) although I don't know where she got 7 1/2 from (my guess is she probably just measured from the top of her shoulders where she wanted it to end and begin) I know where the 11 7/8 came from. Basically think of the neckline as a quarter of a circle. If you use the equation for the circumference of a circle (diameter x π) then divide that by 4 you'll get the measurement for the neck. Although you'll probably have to round up to the nearest eighth (since when measuring clothes you can't really measure to the 1/50 of an inch) and voila you have the correct measurements

    Did you consider using a piece of string for making the "curves" which are actually circular? Using a ruler to make incremental marks is time consuming and inaccurate!

  • @DearFox
    @DearFox 9 місяців тому

    If your neck opening is not equal to 7.5, then to find the length of the bottom of the hood you need to: calculate the length of the circle whose radius is equal to your length of the neck opening (in the video it is 7.5) then divide the circumference by 4 - thereby you will get the length of the bottom of the hood.

    Can you please explain the double notch/center back seam? I don't understand what this is. Thanks.

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  7 років тому +4

      because the cape pattern is usually really large, chances are you might have to cut out 2 halves instead of one whole main cape piece. So I just pick on straight side and say 'ok, this will be the center back side'. This can be either straight side, so no stress at getting it wrong. This is the seam where I will sew the two halves together so if there's a seam that means I can add seam allowance here. The double notch is not going to make or break your cape. I just add it, so I have something to match as I'm pinning the back seam since it's usually really long. Hope that helps.

  • @Wizardwiwizard
    @Wizardwiwizard 6 років тому +1

    I can't hear what you say so basically the shape in the right of your thumbnail is how you cut the cape and the shape in the left is the hood right? I just cut it in that shape right?

    Do you have a suggestion on how to add sleeves onto this?

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  7 років тому +1

      I haven't tried to add sleeves but I would say that you definitely could. This is what I would do, make a simple muslin of the cloak part and tie it on. If you were to slip your arms through the cloak, mark where that could be on the muslin. Make a mark on the muslin for the top of the armhole and bottom of the armhole. If you were to draw a line from the hemline to the neckline with the armhole marks falling right on that line, you can imagine, this would be a seam. So if sewed a seam, from the hemline to the bottom of the armhole and then from the top of the armhole to the neckline, that means you now have a hole to put your arm through. All you would have to do is create a sleeve pattern to attach to the hole and then it's a cloak with sleeves. good luck!

    I am making this cape for a two year old and I think the hood might be too big. any suggestions on the size to make it smaller

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  7 років тому +5

      I haven't made one that small yet. So whatever the neckline of the cape part is, that will be the bottom of the hood. I would measure the height of the kid's head and maybe add 5" on top of that for the height of the hood. That's where I would start and then cut it out of cheap muslin just to test it and see if you want to make alterations. The bottom of the hood must fit the cape neckline. The taller the hood, the more it'll bow out on the sides. If you do the hood exactly the height of the kids head, it'll look like a form fitting hoodie which I don't think is ideal. good luck!

    What can you do if you want the back to be longer than the front

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  5 років тому +2

      I would still make the side seams the same length because the front and back needs to match here, but you can mark on the center back line where you want the hemline to be in the back and then blend your line from your side seam to this mark. Definitely make a muslin to test the style and see if you want to make any further adjustments.

    Do you have to make a hood, could you just make the Cape part.

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  7 років тому +1

      You can definitely just do the cape without the hood. You'll just have to finish the neckline. If you do a lining you can sew a seam around the whole thing, just leave an opening so you can you can flip it right side out and then sew the opening with a slip stitch. :)
