New Free Pattern: The Long Hooded Cape

The Red Riding Hood Cape is one of my most popular. But the one complaint I get about the easy to sew half cape – is that it’s a half cape. I kept getting asked how to make it longer or to re draft the pattern to make it longer. Well I am pleased to announce that I now offer a full length circular cape – the Long Hooded cape. Dramatic and great for running around during Halloween this cape comes in two length to make it a perfect fit for adults. You can grab the free pattern here.
As an aside I thought I would share something funny with you. I had to take pictures of the cape twice. I was so anxious to get this pattern up I took my two year old out (mistake one) during the middle of the day (mistake two) and put one tall heeled boots (making it hard to chase around mistake one). This resulted in bad pictures due to the sunlight and a scowling expression as I watch my two year old run off while I am trying to take pictures of myself. So imagine if you will a woman with a camera set up in cape chasing after her two year old as joggers run by wondering if they need to call to see if someone has escaped from an insane asylum. The things I do for Pinterest! Needless to say I had to get someone to watch my adorable (but very fast) two year old and re-shoot the photos the next day with better lighting. 🙂
