Pattern Favourites: Capes

---

Capes are perfect for transitioning from cold winter days to warmer spring days. Now that winter is on its way out, it’s a great time to start planning and making your own cape! We’ve gathered some pretty cape patterns for you, from easy to make to fully lined, and from simple and stylish to military cool.

Pattern: McCall’s 8029.

This trendy cape pattern from McCall’s is very easy to sew as it is unlined, and all the edges are left unfinished and edge-stitched. It features a belt to cinch it in at your waist, and you can choose to add an oversized hood to protect you from the elements.

Pattern: McCall’s 7477.

The super fun flounce down the middle of this cape makes it bang on trend for 2020. The cape is fully lined and the pattern comes with 5 different style variations and length options, so if this design isn’t for you, have a look at the other options!

Pattern: New Look 6535.

These simple and sophisticated cape designs are timeless and perfect to show off a big print or a checked fabric. You can choose from 4 different lengths so you can make it work for your own wardrobe.

Pattern: Butterick 6603.

We would like an exact copy of this stunning cape! It is fully lined, has front and back darts, it is sleeveless and it closes with buttons down the front. Choose to add the collar, a hidden button placket and you can add beautiful little ruffles to the hem.

Pattern: Simplicity 8263.

This detachable fake fur collar looks fantastic and it will do a great job at keeping you cosy! This pattern includes 4 different styles including a cape with four pockets, a cape with button front and stand up collar and a cape with a (detachable fur) collar, closure at the neckline and a low hem.

Pattern: Vogue 9288.

Make a statement with this amazing cape from Vogue patterns! The front button closures are definitely the main event, although, the volume of the cape, the pockets, and the self belt just finish this design beautifully.
