Soft Capes

I love it when someone asks a question that spurs me to do a post. Thank you Celtic Flame poster.
Here are the soft capes that I have done. There are no set patterns here. To figure out what I want, I whip out the good ol’ muslin and start fooling around. With the dress on my dress dummy, I start pinning, cutting, gathering, draping. Once I have it, I use the muslin to cut my fabric. I feel like one of those artistes on Project Runway!
Celia’s cape.
Katelyn’s cape.
Liz’s cape.
Dana’s cape. Triple layer.
Emily’s cape.
Pleated drape.
This cape did come from the drawing the dancer had done. I used her drawing as a starting point to make the pattern.
Single layer draped.
Double layer draped.
This is actually soft fabric over a stiff shawl.
Double layer.
Gathered to hang from stiff piece…which is not secured correctly in this pic. I like the idea of this one…someday I will try it again and figure it better.
