Yay!!! That’s so awesome, thanks for letting me know. Btw it’s much easier to do the cape as instructed on the pattern instead of doing it double layered like the one I did in the video!!
I think you're about to save my life! I bought the pattern out of curiosity, cut the pieces out for the style I wanted, then realised that I was having trouble understanding the instructions. You saved my life
Dude…. Me too. The instructions always feel like they’re in a different language. That’s why it was necessary for me to make my first cloak off camera before making a video hahahaha. But I’m glad I could help!!
Coming back to this for my second piece cause i forgot how I did the first one and the pattern is not the most easy to follow 😂 thank you for this! I’m curious cause I don’t sew, but what kind of needle did you use since the fabric is silky?
I believe my liner is crushed velvet and my outside is some kind of soft, fluffy fabric. I'm having trouble with the outside sagging and not being flat to the lining. I've tried sewing panels individually, starting at the bottom, starting on the sides, hanging it up, I'm doing my best to iron. Not working. I've seen capes made of this fabric before and I know it works. How do you avoid the sags?
So interesting. I have to say that your fluffy fabric might be heavier than your liner, and therefore not matching up with the liner?? That is my best guess. My only suggestion would be to sew overtop of both, to hold them together. This would create another seam line. But if it’s going to save your project it’s worth a shot!
My granddaughter wants me to sew this cape and she wants it out of anti pill push fleece fabric.So sense this is like a blanket fabric and can start getting heavy, Should I line it with the same fabric? Or use a light cotton or satin fabric fabric ? or not to line it at all? I am just confused on what to do,Thank- You
Hello!! Its great you ask this question. The very first cloak I made was out of anti pill fleece. Because that fabric doesn’t fray and it’s for your granddaughter.. I would say you can absolutely get away with not lining it at all! If you’re concerned about unfinished seams you can always use seam tape. If you are concerned then I would suggest using a cotton or satin to line it, but of course it’s up to you!!
Hey! I have not done B but I just looked at the pattern, I’m not sure really what the difference is between A and B. I think B just had an overlay? So you’ll essentially have one cape over the other one before you sew on the hood
@@MacyJacob I used this video to make my cloak for last Halloween, and now I'm making one for a friend, but I think I learned the difference between A and B. B is a high-low thing, short in the front, long in the back, A is even all around the bottom.
Oh my God the diagram/instructions for sewing the hood is literally SO bad that I? just Sewed the corners to give it this Bizarre shape, that i thought would just Work Out when I attached it to the cape. This sucks for me because I was doing this entire thing with a flannel lining inside velvet. am I just supposed to cut it in half now???
Hi there. I’m so sorry you are having a hard time with the hood!!! I hope my video kind of helped. The go along with the flannel and velvet thing.. I would make the hood with velvet like I show in the video, then sew a piece of flannel to one side of the hood while it’s still a weird rectangle shape. Then it should work out. I hope you figure it out!!!!!
I've been working with the same pattern "Simplicity 8721" and as I'm a beginner I've just realised, I think, that the 'double' layer of material means the 'front' and 'back' , at first looking like I've only cut out HALF ... I need to open out to REVEAL that that 'half' is in fact the full "front" and "back". (I was about to sew the doubled material....gulp, realising just in time that I need to OPEN it out.)
Hello!! It is truly not very complicated.. just confusing. As long as you have the proper shape cut out twice according to your pattern then you got it!! I hope my video is helpful. Good luck!!!!!
So if I’m using a crushed velvet for the outside and satin for a liner, I need 4 velvet panels and 4 satin panels? This is my first time trying to read a pattern and I’m so confused 😂
Hi there! I did silk on the outside and cotton on the inside in this video so that’s perfect! You will need to cut 4 pieces out of the velvet and 4 pieces out of the satin. For the hood, I would suggest using only the velvet and reading the directions very carefully, or just paying attention to the section of the video where I show that. Sorry if it’s not entirely helpful, pls let me know if you have any other questions.
Yes, but I think you would have to do French seams all around before doing the invisible stitch. It may get funky around the corners too… but I don’t have much experience in French seams anyway
Macy Jacob yeah I was trying to figure it out if it would work. I have a few yards (there wasn’t a full piece available) so I’ll have to Frankenstein mine together some how. But this video totally helped! The pattern had me so confused on assembly!
You were a total lifesaver at explaining how the hood folded into itself in step nine! Thank you so much 😊
This was SO HELPFUL. I thought I was going crazy with the hood. Thank you for making this video!
Yet another person that was driven insane by the hood. Thanks for the tutorial! The cloak you made looks amazing! 🤩
I know this is 3 years old but omg I’m so thankful bc I just bought this pattern and I NEED visualssss.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING !!!
@@meganbaerhold727 you’re so welcome 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I’m glad this video is still helpful
This video was perfect, thanks! I just got this pattern and wanted to watch a video of someone's finished cape. Looks great!
Yay!!! That’s so awesome, thanks for letting me know. Btw it’s much easier to do the cape as instructed on the pattern instead of doing it double layered like the one I did in the video!!
@@MacyJacob Okay, good to know, thank you!!
Thank you so much! I was really confused on the hood and you explained it really well!

Yay!!!!!!!! You got this!
You are a life saver thank you. That hood was doing my head in
Im so glad i found your video! You saved me. I was so confused buy the “hood” directions. Like it was missing a step.
Omg this helped so much! I have to sew mine before Friday and it’s so much easier to plan in my head now
I’m so glad I could help!! They are a lot easier than you might expect at first, I can do one in a day now! Good luck 👍
This pattern made no sense when explaining the hood, and your video is super helpful! Thank you
I’m so glad!!
this HELPED ME SOOOO MUCHHH my brain has a hard time processing the instructions that comes with patterns

Can u make a step by step wizard robe with wide sleeves thanks

Have you made the B pattern for this pattern set or only the A? I recently got this pattern for myself and am struggling to make sense of it! D:

Even professionals make mistakes!!! Once you learn then you know for any future projects. I hope my video was helpful!
The hood is honestly the most confusing part so far and that’s literally what I started sewing first. Looks like I will have to cut out a new one 🤣🤣
Hello!! It is truly not very complicated.. just confusing. As long as you have the proper shape cut out twice according to your pattern then you got it!! I hope my video is helpful. Good luck!!!!!
Do you need 2 front pieces and 2 back pieces? Single layer cloak.
Yes!! It should be 4 pieces total.
Se merece mucho más

Do you think you could do a French seam so it will be finished in the inside as well?
Yes, but I think you would have to do French seams all around before doing the invisible stitch. It may get funky around the corners too… but I don’t have much experience in French seams anyway

OMG, thank you. I couldn't understand the hood part at all T.T It feels like the instructions skipped a step between 8 and 9.
Same here haha
What length or fabrics did you need for the cloak?
Hey! I guess I never mentioned it. The pattern suggest 5 1/2 yards of 45” fabric. However since I’m shorter than average I only use about 5 yards
@@MacyJacob Awesome, thank you for replying!
@@MidnightArcher thanks for watching!!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. I think they missed an instruction step for sure there because it is not very clearly explained.
Hi macy I miss

If possible you should definitely avoid shopping at hobby lobby.
