How to sew a cape at home. Master Class

Let's start creating a pattern for our cape! This model is very simple - sewing it does not require special knowledge and creating patterns will take very little time!!! Here it is in its entirety:

To start modeling the cape, we need to have the base of the dress (Fig. 1). To do this, there is no need to perform calculations and build it using rulers and a pencil - just go to the main page of our website, select “basic dress pattern” and indicate your measurements. Then the program will instantly create your individual pattern and, after paying for the service, you can even print it on an A4 printer. Instructions on how to do this are on the pattern generation page.

Enter your measurements into the form (instructions on how to take measurements correctly are also available on the pattern generation page: get yours basic pattern- the basis of the dress. Like this:

As can be seen from the technical drawing, there is no shoulder dart on the front of the cape. We will transfer it to the armhole - the resulting excess freedom will be incorporated into beautiful dynamic folds in the sleeve area (as in the photo) (Figure 2).

We simply remove the waist darts. The resulting dart is shown in blue (Figure 3).

Now let's draw the line of the shoulder and armhole. Initially, we will draw an auxiliary line (shoulder continuation line) about 35-45 cm and then a line going vertically down 10-20 cm (pink lines). Then smoothly draw out the resulting shoulder seam (red line).

Now let’s set the required extension of the cape along the front (about 15 cm), and draw a side seam perpendicular to the resulting bottom line (green lines).

And after completing all the above steps, you can draw a new armhole line, similar in configuration to the armhole from the basic dress design (blue line) (Figure 4).

Let's similarly model the back of our future cape.

For the first dart into the armhole, first lengthen the shoulder (purple lines). We also remove the darts at the waist (Figure 5).

Now, we lengthen and lower the shoulder by the same amount as on the shelf (pink lines), draw a new shoulder line (red line). We make an extension of 15 cm in width, draw a side cut perpendicularly (green lines). And, finally, we draw up the armhole line (blue line) (Figure 6).

The neck of the cape is decorated with a stand-up collar. So that it sits well when sewn, and the thick coat fabric does not press or rub the neck, we need to deepen and widen the neck of the cape. We will deepen it by 1 cm and expand it by 1.5 cm (see Figure 7). The new neck line is drawn in red.

To build a stand, first of all, measure the length of the neck of the back (x) and the shelf (y). Now draw a straight line equal to the sum of x and y.

As shown in Figure 7a, we will draw a perpendicular (red line) 1 cm in size, where the edge of the side will be cut, i.e. middle front. Now let's draw a line for the lower cut of the stand - there will be a straight line on the segment x, a smooth line from the point of the shoulder cut to the top of the perpendicular. Then, choose the size of the stand, for example 5 cm, and draw a line for the upper cut the same as the lower one.

We have made the main patterns for the cape - all that remains is to draw the patterns for the back facing, 4 cm wide, the hem - along the shoulder section the width is also 4 cm, along the bottom - about 5-6 cm, and the armhole facing, about 2 cm wide (blue lines Figure 8). Along the side and shoulder seams, notches are shown in blue.

Shaded pink lines highlight the patterns for the lining of the shelf and back.

And now the pattern of a bright spring cape is ready!!! Let's carefully check all the resulting patterns for the top - patterns for the back and front of the cape, hem, collar - stand-up, armhole facings, back facings for the spread (Figure 9). Now all we have to do is cut out the parts from the fabric. For all cuts, set allowances of 1 cm. Add 3-4 cm to the hem of the top fabric, and 2 cm to the lining. A zipper is used as a fastener.

We would also be interested to know which models outerwear you want to sew it yourself. It is more convenient to send photos and conduct a dialogue in our VKontakte group.

Have a good mood and see you soon!!!

Cape coat is an elegant cape, the main highlight of which is the absence of sleeves. Instead, they make slits for the hands, which can be hidden in relief seams, as shown in our pattern, or made in the form of a pocket, distinguished by two facings.

Cape coat, photo which you see is very easy to do yourself. To do this, it is enough that you have a cape pattern. Below you will find drawings that you can use to make a pattern. All you have to do is decide what fabric it will be made from. Depending on this, the future cape coat will be either warm or, on the contrary, a light, cape-like option.

Considering that all female image will be done almost independently, the result will be an original and unforgettable style.

During the process, in addition to the main details of the slots of the cape coat, make additional leaves of 30x6 cm (they should be ready 3 cm) or process the slots with facings; before this, be sure to provide allowances when you cut out the middle side parts of the front.

Pay special attention to the places that will be specified during fitting; additional allowances must be made there. When all details of the cape coat will be collected, do a rough fitting, so you will see where you need to make adjustments, and then feel free to start sewing your cape coat.

Separately, I would like to say about the lining; the cape can be made without it, if you so choose. If you make a lining, then cover it along the main parts, not taking into account the hems and facings of the back neck.

A transformable cape is a thing that should be in the wardrobe of every woman who keeps up with the times! This piece is as practical as it is simple in design.

Without a doubt, anyone can sew it in a maximum of 3 hours. Well, if you have at least once held a thread and a needle in your hands, then everything will work out much faster.

Cape pattern

Depending on what time of year and what you will wear the cape with, the material and diameter of the cape are determined. A medium weight fabric containing 50% wool and 50% polyester will the best option. For size 42–46 (Russian) with a height of 170 cm, you will need a cut of 155 cm by 140 centimeters.

This is what the pattern should look like. The fabric should be ironed thoroughly before cutting.

It will be easier to cut if you fold the pattern and fabric in half.

Actually everything! If you have fabric that does not fray along the cuts, then you will not need to sew the edges. If processing the cut cannot be avoided, and there is no overlocker on the farm, then the edges can be folded or edged with something.

All that’s left to do is figure out what will be used as a belt at the waist. You can cut a wide strip from the same fabric and fold it in half to sew a belt, or you can choose some kind of wide leather belt that contrasts in color.

This is such a simple master class. I would like to add one small BUT. It seems to us that the pattern in this master class is not entirely correct, or rather, the length between the cuts is incorrectly calculated. Therefore, we add another pattern found on the Internet, and a short video on how to calculate the length between the cutouts.

The product is almost dimensionless: it looks chic on any figure! To increase or decrease the size, you can slightly change the pattern by decreasing or increasing the diameter of the circle itself and the diameter of the armholes.

The cape pattern is quite simple, so sew a new one stylish coat It will turn out to be a very simple matter.
Choice of fabric.
The cape can be worn from spring to autumn, so the fabric can be both warm and light. Choose the fabric that you like best. If we talk about autumn, then it can be soft bouclé wool, which can be used for both spring and early autumn. If it's summer, choose a light, flowy fabric that will highlight your grace!

We have chosen the fabric, let's start creating the pattern.
Step one.
We will need fabric measuring about 130x260 cm. With these fabric sizes, the cape itself will be approximately 100 cm long. Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other. You get a rectangle measuring 130x130 cm. Fold the fabric again to form a triangle (see picture).

Cape pattern, lay out the fabric.

Step two.
We set aside a radius of 130 cm from the top current. Trim off the excess. We unfold the completed cape pattern on the fabric. Let's see: we have a large wedge of a flared sun skirt. We shift the fabric so that the edges of the fabric fall into the middle (the place for fasteners).

Step three.
Set aside the length of the back. Using smooth lines we denote the shoulder seams and outline the neckline. We cut it off. Sew the shoulder seams. You can throw the kei on yourself. Does it fit as it should?

Step four.
We make slits for the arms at such a distance and width from the center of the product that it would be comfortable for you to walk in the cape. The height of the slot is somewhere around 30-35 cm.

INCREASE
Step five.
We finish the edges of the fastener, the bottom of the product and the slots for the arms. You can make the edging from a different material, you can use the same one, or you can take leather, the main thing is that the fabric does not fray too much.

Cut strips 2.5-3 cm wide. If the fabric does not fray, then apply the trim first from the front side and attach it to the main fabric, and then wrap it on the wrong side - attach it again. We also do the same with the bottom of the product and with the slots for the arms of the cape. We sew on the fasteners we have chosen. You can fasten the cape only from the top using a homemade strap, a button, a chain - whatever you like best. You can use Velcro, decorating them in advance. Choose the option that you like!

And that was the final touch. Collar!

Step six.
You can replace the collar of the cape with a hood, just hem it and use a cowl collar.

Consider the collar option.
We cut out two parts with a length equal to the length of the neck, 10-15 cm high. We fold them right sides together, make the edges flat, or maybe sharp-angled, and sew them together, leaving one long side of the collar unstitched. Let's turn it inside out. We apply it to the neck and sew it together.
Ready. Agree, the cape pattern is quite simple, it makes you want to reach for the sewing machine!!
