Traveller Cape - Adult sewing pattern

Exterior: Mid to heavy-weight woven fabrics with good drape, like boiled wool, flannel, soft felted wool, suiting, tweed, wool or cashmere twill, velvet. Be aware that some wool coating fabrics have a nap so will need to be cut with all pieces going in the same direction, which may require more fabric. Lightweight cottons or linen for a spring or summer cape. For a water resistant garment, a soft shell fabric will give a warm, drapey result. Fabrics not suitable: crisp, hard fabrics like cotton twill, denim, gabardine, polyester. Lining: I like to use natural, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen however be aware they may catch on the clothing under the cape. Acetate, polyester, nylon, satin lining fabrics are also suitable.

Spool of coordinating thread Interfacing for collar - optional Fastening supplies of your choice. If you would like to make your cape reversible, you will need an additional button or two for the reverse side Regular sewing supplies If using slippery fabrics (like minky) or a heavyweight wool (in particular wool blankets), you might benefit from using a walking foot
