CAPE PATTERN + IDEAS + PONCHO SEWING MK + A FEW MORE SIMPLE CAPE/PONCHO PATTERNS

Cape- this is something between a poncho and a raincoat, such a hybrid and capes with slits for arms, in other words, a sleeveless cape.






The cape pattern is quite simple, so sew a new one stylish coat It will turn out to be a very simple matter.
Choice of fabric.
The cape can be worn from spring to autumn, so the fabric can be both warm and light. Choose the fabric that you like best. If we talk about autumn, then it can be soft bouclé wool, which can be used both for spring and for early autumn. If it's summer, choose a light, flowy fabric that will highlight your grace!

We have chosen the fabric, let's start creating the pattern.
Step one.
We will need fabric measuring about 130x260 cm. With these fabric sizes, the cape itself will be approximately 100 cm long. Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other. You get a rectangle measuring 130x130 cm. Fold the fabric again to form a triangle (see picture).



Cape pattern, lay out the fabric.

Step two.
We set aside a radius of 130 cm from the top current. Trim off the excess. We unfold the completed cape pattern on the fabric. Let's see: we have a large wedge of a flared sun skirt. We shift the fabric so that the edges of the fabric fall into the middle (the place for fasteners).

Step three.
Set aside the length of the back. Smooth lines We mark the shoulder seams and outline the neckline. We cut it off. Sew the shoulder seams. You can throw the kei on yourself. Does it fit as it should?

Step four.
We make slits for the arms at such a distance and width from the center of the product that it would be comfortable for you to walk in the cape. The height of the slot is somewhere around 30-35 cm.



INCREASE
Step five.
We finish the edges of the fastener, the bottom of the product and the slots for the arms. You can make the edging from a different material, you can use the same one, or you can take leather, the main thing is that the fabric does not fray too much.

Cut strips 2.5-3 cm wide. If the fabric does not fray, then apply the trim first from the front side and attach it to the main fabric, and then wrap it on the wrong side - attach it again. We also do the same with the bottom of the product and with the slots for the arms of the cape. We sew on the fasteners we have chosen. You can fasten the cape only from the top using a homemade strap, a button, a chain - whatever you like best. You can use Velcro, decorating them in advance. Choose the option that you like!

And so it remained finishing touch. Collar!

Step six.
You can replace the collar of the cape with a hood, just hem it and use a cowl collar.

Consider the collar option.
We cut out two parts with a length equal to the length of the neck, 10-15 cm high. We fold them right sides together, make the edges flat, or maybe sharp-angled, and sew them together, leaving one long side of the collar unstitched. Let's turn it inside out. We apply it to the neck and sew it together.
