Super Hero Gathered Cape!

Super unproblematic Cape!
This cape is as well as hence slowly as well as versatile.
It's reversible...and tin agree practically anyone.

I used a remnant of gilt lame. (I know, right?)
Well, I don't retrieve how much it cost...but it was likely close a yard's worth of fabric.
Because lame doesn't fray, it's real slowly to piece of occupation with.
You could operate whatever cloth though,
if it frays, you'd but guide maintain to hem the iii other edges.
So.
Sew downward 1 border close ii 1/2 inches.
Sew in 1 trial past times the border as well as in 1 trial across the center.
This creates a double casing.

Then I used my bodkin (or a security pin) as well as about 550 parachute cord...

and
threaded it inward the overstep casing, as well as looped dorsum through the lower casing.

Then I took to a greater extent than cord as well as went into the lower casing on the border that had a loop.

Same affair inward one, looped as well as dorsum through the top.

Then yous tin necktie the unloose ends off at both sides.

Now, when yous trace on the tied off ends,
it scrunches as well as gathers the cloth beautifully!
You tin shorten the ties somewhat, since it's unlikely
you'll bespeak it completely stretched out.

But the extra gathers gives the cape a perfect shape!
This cape is also reversible. It would live dark amongst gilt lining!

I made a fur neckband out of a plushy headband ear warmer.
I but cutting it inward half, hemmed the edges as well as sewed a push clitoris as well as a loop of elastic at the corners.
