Simplicity Pattern 8263 Women's Capes and Capelets

Sew a stylish women’s cape with Simplicity Pattern 8263. This dressmaking pattern gives you four different cape and capelet options, so you can create a look that feels classic, elegant or more dramatic depending on your choice of fabric.

Designed for sizes 32 to 50, this medium-difficulty sewing pattern comes with clear instructions and a size chart to help you choose your fit with confidence. Seam allowances of 1.5 cm are included unless stated otherwise, making it easier for you to get started on your project.

A cape is a versatile layer to sew and a lovely way to work with fabric by the metre. Choose a fabric with a beautiful drape for a softer finish, or something with a little more structure if you want a sharper silhouette. Worn over a jumper, dress or top, it adds an instant handmade touch to your outfit.

This Simplicity pattern is a practical and creative addition to your haberdashery projects, giving you a garment with plenty of personality and room to make it your own.
