 Urgent Cape pattern help


Hllo.

Long time lurker here who adores the work and quality people here have produced :)
Basically I want to make a circular cape, and have 8 yards of 60" black material. But I am unsure how to cut out the triangles, I can't work it out , I'f I cut it out lengthways then surely i would run out of room?


Thank you very much

In the bottom right of the pattern it shows you how you'll need to layout each of the triangles inside the squares. If possible, try to make a cardboard/paper template first. That's what I did, but I know not everyone has access to a 24" wide printer :toocool

Use some plain white chalk to mark up the lines. Works great and wipes right off.

Re: Urgent Cape pattern help


On the open ends of the last panels, make the seam a little wider. Find dowels, rods, or steal some plastic rods from old blinds, and cut a slit in the seam about the same length as the rod. Slip them in...
