Winter Wool DIY Cape

Instructions:

1. Trim the wool fabric to between 1½ yards to 2 yards in length using the 8” Amplify Fabric Shears. The amplify shears will be able to cut through several layers of fabric with ease, simplifying this task. Depending on your height, you will want to adjust the fabric length to be shorter or longer.

2. To create the neck opening, fold the wool in half lengthwise, so that the two finished ends meet. Find the center of the folded edge and place a pin at this point. Next, pin 3” away from the fold, through both layers of wool and at a slightly curved position. Pin in a straight line 3” away from the fold, all the way to one end of the fabric. Cut the wool along the pinned line.

3. To finish the neck opening, edge neatly. Open up the cape and fold the cut edge 1/2” to the wrong side and sew it down.

4. To fringe the two short ends of the cape, gently pull out individual threads in the weave of the fabric until the fringe reaches your desired length. If necessary, sew a straight line across the top of the fringe to prevent further fraying.
