Today I’ve got another fantastic sewing tutorial from one of The Cottage Mama guest contributors ~ Christie Jones from Sewing In Be Tween. If you have some little ones entering that tween stage, you’ll definitely want to check out this new sewing blog focused on sewing for the older girls.
Please give a warm welcome to Christi sharing her Best All ARound Cape Tutorial.
Hi! I am Christie from Sewing In Be Tween and I am so excited to share my tutorial with you. When I am looking for a great all around pattern, I look for a few different things. I want a pattern that is size versatile, that can serve many purposes, and that I can sew up quickly. This pattern ticks all of those boxes! This is my Best All Around Cape. This cape can be made in any size from infant to adult, with any woven fabric, and can be super dressy, cozy and cute, it is reversible, and it’s perfect for a costume (For a BOY even??). Also, the “All-Around” is a play on words as this cape is drafted based on a circle skirt. So, let’s get started!
