About this pattern

If you enjoyed making Lane Huerta's dog cape featured in the April '18 issue of Sew, why not whip up a matching child's version for your little hero as well? Both feature the same choice of a shooting star or lightning bolt motif and are easy to sew, allowing you to create and sew on felt appliqué motifs and add hook and loop tape fastenings. Try a medium-weight cotton or lightweight cotton canvas to make your cape, making sure to choose vibrant colours!

Essentials

  • Main fabric, 90cm (1.14m wide)
  • Lining fabric, 90cm (1.14m wide)
  • Hook and loop tape, 1.3cm wide
  • Felt, two (star) or four (lightning) colours, 30.5cm of each
  • Fusible interfacing (optional)
