Wrap Around Cape

STEP 1: Lay the two layers of fabric - the lining and the main fabric – one on top of the other keeping their right sides together.

STEP 2: Sew along the sides, leaving a gap of 6-inches in the middle, as shown. Trim all the corners at an angle, making sure not to cut the stitches.

STEP 3: Turn the fabric right side out through the 6 inches gap you had left. Thereafter close the opening by stitching it shut. Then sew all the four sides of the fabric, leaving a space of ¼ inch distance from the edges.

STEP 4: Fold the fabric in half widthwise and measure 12 inches on the longer side from the folded edge and mark a point. This is for the neck opening.
