The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. The Quartermain House is a cozy and colourful (and world class rated) B&B in Fredericton.Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. Here’s the final product! June modelled it outside a very charming B&B downtown. I made June’s cape a little big so that she can grow into it, and she loves it! DIY Colourful Witch Cape I then ironed the lining on the cape to make sure everything was good to go. This could also be a fun opportunity for some buttons, but I’m not that detail oriented. You’ll want to add a ribbon tie at the collar to keep it attached when on. Why? because ain’t nobody got time to sew that. If you’re good to go, time to hot glue rick rack. You can easily trim length or width before the embellishments.
Now it’s time for a fit check if you haven’t already done it. Don’t go all the way though, you want the circle ends to hang down a bit. I then sewed the top line along the top of the cape using a matching thread. I put a long rectangle and curved the ends. Next-up, cute capelet! I didn’t want to do a hood since June is all about the witch hat, and I didn’t want an outrageous collar that would prevent her from wearing said hat.Ĭapelet it is! This one is directly inspired by Frozen. Sewing over them with my machine was tricky, but not impossible. Trim any excess fabric, and then it’s time for pleats! You can skip this, but I wanted to try something more structural, so I added two darts – one on each side of the collar. Next, time to sew the two pieces together! I did pin the corners here, but that just to prevent massive missallignment. If you’re not measuring, you’re likely not pining. You can always lay something heavy on top to prevent the fabrics from slip-slidding, or you can pin things. Next, lay your lining fabric beneath your top square, and cut to match. The handy markings on the cutting mat made it easy to keep things straight. I laid a “large on her” jacket on the fabric, and then added a few inches in each direction for errors and seam allowances. If you needed permission to do that, I am officially granting it to you.
#Cloaks and capes witchcraft how to#
Basically, a yellow cloak/cape with flowers and stars is more useful for her play.Ĭheck out my DIY Witch Cape How to make a cape without measuring But if I make a colourful cape that feels more “magical” than “scary”, she might chose to use it when playing dress-up in any number of scenarios: magician, prince(ss), Anna from Frozen, etc. With a black cape that screams “spooky” she’ll only really use it once a year. I don’t want to make something with a limited use – this ties into Montessori’s concept of open ended play.
I know witches usually get down in all black, but when making items for June, I like to create things that she’ll get prolonged use from. Except when it comes to sewing (and painting), because things are tailor made and for the most part it’s just assembling pieces. I don’t however love the super detailed part of projects, so this means I will forever be limited in what I can do well. I love the idea of sewing, and I love a good kids halloween costume. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.
* Fiskars sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Of course, my Fiskars tools came along for the ride There will be plenty of time to have cool black capes and hats, but she’s 2, so I thought we’d go with a fun and colourful cape that can be used for dress-up in a variety of scenarios later. We had big plans for a concept Halloween costume, and then June decided she really wanted to be a witch for Halloween.
