    Long Hooded Cloak Pattern Tutorial:

    Step 1 – Assemble the Pattern

    You will need to assemble the pattern.  For instructions on how to assemble the pattern click here.

    Long Hooded Cloak PatternNormally I would just have this be a little blurb and then tell you what to cut out, but I need you to understand that this pattern is a little different – and so you REALLY need to pay attention to this part.

    Step 2 – Cut out the pieces to the cape

    This Long Hooded Cloak Pattern is easy to make and is free! Video tutorial makes it easy to sew.simple seams and great for a variety of costumes. Perfect sewing project and beginner friendly.

  • To save you from endless pattern assembly the Long Hooded Cloak Pattern piece doubles as the back piece and the front pieces (yay for saving trees).  However this means that you need to do a couple of different things when you cut out the pattern. I’ve sewn for 2 decades and have never come across a designed like this = so even if you’re a seasoned sewist you need to pay attention.

    Long Hooded Cloak Pattern

  • Each Long Hooded Cloak Pattern piece is actually 2 pattern pieces – you will cut down the pieces to make it the next pattern piece ( for example you will cut out the exterior of the hood, cut down the pattern piece and then cut the interior).

  • Cape section:

    Cut the pattern to the length you want (there are two – I’m 5’4″ and the shorter length was good for me).

    This Long Hooded Cloak Pattern is easy to make and is free! Video tutorial makes it easy to sew.simple seams and great for a variety of costumes. Perfect sewing project and beginner friendly.

  • Cut 1 of the back piece – place the pattern piece with the BLUE line on the fold.  There will be lip of paper (.5 inches) that hangs over the edge of the fabric.  This will make 1 large back piece

    Now Cut the pattern piece to become the front piece.  Cut on the red lines at the neck, and at the bottom (curve up so you don’t trip on the cape).

  • Then place on folded fabric making sure ENTIRE pattern is on the fabric (no paper lip hanging over).  Cut out pattern making two pieces for the front.

    Note: to conserve on fabric I turned the pattern around – this might not work with some patterned fabric.

    Step 3 – Cut out the hood

  • On doubled Fabric, cut two of the hood exterior.

    Step 5 – Sew the exterior to the hood lining.

    If desired top sew .25 inches from the seam at the bottom of the hood, to help the seam lay better.

    Step 7 – Finish off the cape.

    You can leave the fleece edges raw if you desire, but finishing them off can give the cape a nice look.
