Thank you so much for this pattern! I adapted it a little to make a warm, fleece-lined Dragonrider-styled cape with a nice leather closure and imitation leather “dragonscales” all down the back and shoulders! My girlfriend loves it!
My very first sewing project ever with my 1972 Sears-Kenmore 148.12170, and it went great thanks to you!

In reply to Priscilla. What I would do is just sew two seams, on on each side from the out side edge to about half way in to make sleeves.

Thank you for the pattern! How hard would it be to make sleeves on this? I am hoping to use this for a fairy god mother costume to complement my daughter as Cinderella. Any tips?

Thankyou so much for this pattern! I know it’s kinda late to say this, but it was the main part of my Halloween costume (and all future Harry Potter cosplays). Now even my friends are asking for their own! Thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you for the great pattern! I just made this yesterday, definitely easy enough for a raw beginner 🙂 I used fleece as a liner, and flannel for an outer layer, and it’s so cozy! My husband will love it. For the record, mine was not lopsided, sorry Claire, I think you may have done something wrong.

Claire,
oh no! That’s not good! I most definitely didn’t design it to be lopsided. Could you email me a picture to see if I can figure out what went wrong?

I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it and have just made one for my daughter however I do not understand why the cut out for the neck is not central on the pattern. I followed the pattern (I think!) and the cape is lopsided with more material on one side than the other and it looks bad:( any help?

Have made the Little Red Riding Hood cape for my grand daughter for Halloween! It came out really good and all I have to do is add the ribbon! I lined the hood and the front and bottom with about 6 inches of red flannel with wolves on it! I’m trying to make a cape for my cousin! I’ve alreasdy bought his favorite team fleece! He is wheelchair bound from a swimming accident last summer! Do you think I can use this cape pattern for him! I have been looking for a cape pattern for the handicap and have not found one yet! Would you make it that he can sit on it or make it short in the back? Everyone wants to sell you a cape already made!

Thanks
Jan

In reply to caidan.

The red hood’s base is larger than the green’s. However I think you might be able to make it work – You’ll just need to gather the base of the red hood a little to make it fit.
