The cape is truly an essential piece of many costumes. But, depending on the costume style, the needs can be different. Here's a pattern set that includes a ton of options to create a bunch of different looks!
Starting from the basic cape, you can add a hood (round or pointed), a collar (high, flat or fur) or a capelet... or a combination of several elements.
The step-by-step instructions will guide you to make the different elements separately (to turn them into removable pieces) or to assemble them all together. The number of combinations is (almost) endless!
Whether it's for a vampire, mage or adventurer look, you can easily create the cape of your dreams with this ultra-versatile pattern.
