MNBarb said... Not too many photos. I loved seeing your capelet in detail. Your addition of the silk lining and little details like the leaf label make your garment fabulously unique. I agree that the pattern designers should just be including a lining is a pattern similar to this or for jackets, in general. You could have another cape in your wardrobe, it seems perfect for your climate and a really good style for you. Ooh, it would be lovely in a brightly colored wool! 1/10/11 8:04 AM

Nan Kay said... Your version is really nice. Love the lining, no cape should be unlined, they stick to every thing you wear under it! Nice work. 1/10/11 9:05 AM

JTink said... This is so pretty. I'm interested in how you attached the bias tape to the facing edge and then attached it to the lining. Such a nice clean finish. 1/10/11 1:48 PM
Ericaeli said... Thank you for the nice comments.
JTink, I attached the bias binding to the facing using my binder foot (I sewed the cape on my featherweight, and it is the binder foot that came with it). After I attached the binding to the facing, I just laid the facing on the lining and sewed it down. I tried to sew it down on the same stitching line as the binding attachment, but I wasn't very careful. I then basted the edges, so the facing and lining were one unit. I hope that makes sense. 1/10/11 9:27 PM
