Capes are hot this fall. Why not sew your own? The Woodland Stroll Cape<\/a>\u00a0would be a great starting point for any of these inspirational styles.<\/p>\n

I love these classic camel-colored capes with a single closure at the top. Sew your cape in a beautiful wool coating or a brushed cotton twill. Lengthen the pattern for a dramatic, sweeping hem. Add a statement clasp or leather\/faux leather trim (or both!) to elevate the look. Or what about a lush brown velvet ribbon? Sew your own cape and customize it to your style. There are so many possibilities with this simple, classic pattern!<\/p>\n

While the solid tan wool would be chic for everyday outwear, the Woodland Stroll pattern is also a perfect canvas for a statement print, such as leopard, or a silk taffeta floral that would make a great topper for a holiday party dress. I’m slightly obsessed with the idea of a leopard print cape, which I think would be fabulous with jeans and boots as well as over a dress.<\/p>\n

And while we’re on the topic of dressy capes, what about basic black … with a twist? Sew up the cape in a luxe velvet like the Gucci below. The pattern only calls for 1 1\/2 yards of outer fabric in the largest size, so it’s a good candidate for splurging a little on a special textile. Or use a classic black coating as a canvas for standout embroidery.<\/p>\n

The Woodland Stroll is a quick sew too. With only three pattern pieces and minimal fitting required, you could make it a weekend sewing project and still have time to go out for brunch. How’s that for instant gratification?<\/p>\n

Do any of these styles strike your fancy? Which cape would you like to sew?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
