Cape:NewLook 6152
The pros: This pattern was super easy.
The cons: I opted not to sew the bottom together per the instructions, I was concerned about the lining not laying flat with the rest of the cape. It was a beast to get that lining not to show. I decided to tack my lining to the seams, which was not part of the instructions.
The pros: It's all gravy, easy peasy!
The Cons: Nada! Zilch!
Here is my super cool lining! I wanted to have fun with the inside and I think I achieved that and then some. Look at me tooting my own horn....Toot Toot!
I whipped up a simple pair of pants to match this cape.The pants are super long because I made them to wear with heels and I only wanted to see the points of my shoes sticking out when I am wearing these. When I started with the photos I remembered that I had a pink pair of pumps that would look great in the photos. With that being said I was literally walking on the pants because my pink pumps were only a 1 1/2 inch heel. I say that to say this, I know the pants are to long in these photos!
Luv it!!!!!!
