    How to al ter the Hooded Caplet


    to Anna's Cape

    Pattern brought to you by:

    (c) Megan Gorman 2014


    This is NOT a full pattern. It includes zero pattern pieces. You must own
    Made for Mermaids Hooded Caplet pattern and tutorial to complete this
    project! I will show you how to alter the pattern pieces from the Hooded
    Caplet pattern to get the look of Anna's cape.

    Fabric:
    I used felt bought by the yard for this project. Why? Well this was going
    to strictly be a dress up cape for my daughter....we live in Dallas, there is
    never a need for a real winter cape ;) I love felt because it doesn't need to
    be finished, I didn't hem or line at all, plus it's affordable since you will
    need much more fabric. You could also use fleece for the same reason-
    no need to finish seams or hem.

    If you prefer to line the cape you need to use a cotton or something
    LIGHT weight. If you line each piece, it will be very very thick and
    difficult to sew.

    Sizing:
    If you're like me and choose a fabric you aren't going to hem or line, you
    are going to want to size down 1 size. My daughter wears a 3-4 in the
    caplet pattern, so I cut the 1-2. Finished length is from back of neck to
    hem. I will tell you how to easily adjust length in tutorial.
    1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8 9/10
    Aprox Finished
    Length 21” 24” 28” 31” 34”

    Additional Supplies:
    You will need to buy additional fabric to get the length under the caplet.
    Estimate given will need to be added to the fabric requirement from the
    Hooded Caplet pattern:
    1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8 9/10
    Long Cape 1 5/8 1 5/8 1 5/8 1 5/8 1 5/8
    woven fabric
    Long Cape 5/8 3/4 7/8 7/8 1
    60” wide fabric

    Optional 1-2 packs rick rack, about 2 yards pom poms, lace or other trim
    Hook and eye

    Adjusting hood to collar:
    We are going to cut down our hood piece to create a collar. First cut out
    your hood piece.

    Now measure and mark 2.5” from the bottom of the hood. (see pink
    below.) Then cut away top piece.

    (c) Megan Gorman 2014


    The bottom 2.5” is now your collar pattern piece.

    Cut pieces according to Hooded Caplet pattern, subbing the hood for your
    new collar piece. You should have 2 front caplet pieces, 1 back caplet
    piece and 2 collar pieces.

    Now we need to cut our long cape pieces. Use the chart below to see how
    much length you need to add to your caplet piece:

    1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8 9/10


    Added length to
    caplet pieces 12.75” 14.75” 17.75” 19.75” 21.7

    (c) Megan Gorman 2014


    You will use the caplet pattern pieces, but add the length from above
    chart to the back and front pieces. (see pink below.) You can adjust how
    long you want your cape very easily. Measure your daughter from back of
    neck to where you want the cape to hit. Now add 1/2” for seam allowance
    to attach collar AND another 1/2” if you are going to hem. When you cut
    use that measurement from the back center caplet piece to hem. You
    should have 2 front caplet pieces, 2 long front cape pieces, 1 back caplet
    piece, 1 back long cape piece and 2 collar pieces. It is helpful to pin or
    mark which is the font and back of the collar now.

    Adjust finished length here!


    My example is mid back length.

    Now continue construction as per instructions in Hooded Caplet pattern.
    You will sew the caplet pieces and long cape pieces separately at shoulder
    seams, creating a caplet and cape piece.

    Now put caplet on top of cape. Wrong side of caplet to right side of cape.

    We will now attach the collar. (see yellow above.) If you are like me and
    did not line your collar pieces, you will need to cut off 1/2” from each
    FRONT of collar piece. (see purple below.)

    (c) Megan Gorman 2014


    Now with right sides together, stitch collar to caplet and cape. Your
    collar and long cape should sandwich your caplet. It will be: long cape
    right side to caplet wrong side, caplet right side to collar right side. This
    is a little thick to sew through. My machine didn't have any trouble. If
    yours is, increase your stitch length a little and GENTLY help material
    through by pulling back as it stitches.

    If you want to add pom poms or trim do so now! I like to add poms and
    rick rack.

    Now add your hook and eye with needle and thread. I got this one for $2-
    not on sale- at Joann's. It has the perfect 'Anna' look!

    Tada! Done and gorgeous! Will look perfect with your Made for Mermaids
    Anna dress :)
