I Joined The American Duchess Cape Cult and Made a 1910s Wrap Cape || #ADCapeCult

Hello friends and welcome back to another sewing video! This week’s project is part of the #ADCapeCult, a fantastic swooshy historybounding cape that I am woefully behind the bandwagon in making. This pattern was drafted from an actual 1910s garment, and is available free to anyone who would like to try making it, thanks to the wonderful team at American Duchess. https://blog.americanduchess.com/2020/04/adcapecult-free-1910s-cape-pdf-pattern.html If you want to see some of the many, many beautifully creative versions that people have made, check out the hashtag on Instagram: #ADCapeCult Materials used: 2 yards wool suiting (https://fabric-fabric.com/) 2 yards cotton/linen blend 1 yard black grosgrain ribbon (https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/) Silk thread (https://www.devereyarns.co.uk/collecting-all-sorts-colour-packs-127-c.asp) I did say it was a long story, no? I’ll make it quick. DeVere yarns offers cool little mystery packs of yarns & threads that are just a little quirky; whether they were wound onto the wrong spool label, or that don’t 100% meet their length or colour standards. Case in point, my ‘salmon’ coloured blue thread.
