Step-by-Step Instructions
Print and assemble the pattern. Download our free Batman cape pattern and print it out. Carefully assemble the pattern by taping or gluing the pieces together.
Cut out the fabric. Using the pattern, cut out the following pieces from the fabric:
- 1 cape front
- 1 cape back
- 2 cape linings
Add interfacing. Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of the cape front and back pieces. This will give the cape structure and prevent it from becoming flimsy.
Sew the lining to the cape. With right sides together, sew the lining to the outer fabric of the cape front. Press the seam allowance to one side and repeat for the cape back.
Sew the cape front to the cape back. Place the cape front and back together with the right sides facing and sew around the edges, leaving a gap for turning.
Turn the cape right side out. Carefully turn the cape right side out through the gap you left in the seam. Press the edges to seal.
Hem the cape. Fold the raw edges of the cape under and sew them down to create a neat hem.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a heavier fabric for a more dramatic cape, or a lighter fabric for a more flowy one.
- Add embellishments such as a Batman logo or studs to personalize your cape.
- If you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand-sew the cape using a needle and thread.
