Girls Cape Pattern | Maisie SEW ALONG (+VIDEO)

This cute, reversible girls cape pattern is an ideal Winter sewing pattern. It is lined and reversible, so all your stitching is hidden inside the cape, and no serger is required. I have used Velcro for the tab fastening, but you could also use a button or even a sew-in press stud. Make it plain and simple, or add a fun applique like this little red riding hood.

Supplies and Notions

• Fabric for the main outside of the cape – 1 ¼ yards (1.15m)
• Lining fabric – 1 ¼ yard (1.15m)
• Velcro – 2 inches of 1 inch wide (5cm x 2.5cm)
• A scrap of fusible interfacing for the tab

Fabric Choices for Cape Patterns

For the outside of the girl’s cape pattern, I like to use corduroy, light wool, or fleece. Denim in a light or medium weight also looks amazing and is easy to sew. This gives some body to the cape and adds a little warmth. My red cape sample was made using velvet, but admittedly, this was much harder to sew than the corduroy and denim samples.

Use a slightly thinner lining to reduce bulk. Quilting cotton works well and is easy to sew.
