THANK YOU 👍👍so much how very brilliant your tutorial was so simple & straight forward I'm now feeling confident in sewing my grandson's Book Week costume 🤞🤞
12:27 of video OH MY two cape pieces......when did it become TWO cape pieces? The black on black of cape and white on white of interfacing very hard to discern. Thanks for posting this idea
Haha! It was two pieces to begin with because the fabric wasn't wide enough to do a full circle of fabric (like most fabric yardage). So basically it's two semi-circles that get sewn together to form a full circle.
Cucicucicoo: Eco Sewing and Crafting, I'm thinking of using your tutorial for my own cape. Mine is from the movie "Scream, Blacula SCREAM" from 1973, my all-time favorite actor, William Marshall is 6'5, and I am 5'10, if could look at screenshots, measure his height and length of the cape, figure how much fabric I need in order to make mine, so I can spread it like he can. That would be much appreciated
I don't know the character, but I'm sure it'll be fine. If you want to know precisely the amount of fabric, there is a part of the video on calculating it or, if you prefer, read my blog post in the section "taking measurements ", where it is clearly shown: www.cucicucicoo.com/2019/10/how-to-make-a-vampire-cape-with-a-stand-up-collar/
@@cucicucicooecosewingandcra645 Oh don't worry. I know him on the back of my hand, Blacula is the name of an African prince who has been bitten by Dracula in 1780 after trying to cease the Slave Trade, then many centuries later, Dracula is dead and the black prince of shadows has risen and goes on a bloody rampage
No, it's one layer, however you could easily sew two cape pieces then sew them right sides together, wedging the collar in between, turning and topstitching. This way it could be reversible and with two different colors.
It depends on how long you want it to be. Let's just say that you need a square of fabric that's twice the length you want it (neck to bottom) plus about 15 cm. In my case, that was 190 x 190 cm. If your fabric isn't wide enough, though, you have to cut two semicircles. You can read the details on calculating on my blog post (www.cucicucicoo.com/2019/10/how-to-make-a-vampire-cape-with-a-stand-up-collar/) under the heading "take measurements".
I wasn't aware of it being necessary to have two colors. You could always make another layer in the same way with another color and just sew them together, right sides facing, turn right side out and topstitch. Or if you have the luck to find double-face fabric with two colors!
For the neck? Because here we need to calculate the radius of a circle. The circumference of the neck is circle circumference, and the radius is the amount to measure down from the top fold of fabric. The geometric calculation for circumference is 2 x pi x r, so if we need to find r (radius), the calculation is the circumference divided by 2 x pi. I simplified pi to just 3, so 2 x 3 = 6.
This was absolutely 💯 the BESTEST circle skirt/cape tutorial. Thanx sew much 🧵🪡
Yay, I'm so glad you loved it!
this video is a year old but this just in time for my costume this year! thank you!!
Hooray! Have fun and be safe!
thank you sm!!! my mom is helping me do a streber cosplay for a school fundraiser and this helped a lot :]
That's fantastic! Have fun at the fundraiser!
Well done tutorial. I appreciate the drawing that describes where to take measurements.
I'm so glad that was helpful, Emily! That type of illustration helps me understand how things work together, so I figured it would for others, too!
THANK YOU 👍👍so much how very brilliant your tutorial was so simple & straight forward I'm now feeling confident in sewing my grandson's Book Week costume 🤞🤞
That's awesome! Let me know how it goes! And which book? 🙂
Thank you so much. You are a life savior.
Awesome! I hope your costume came out amazing!
@@cucicucicooecosewingandcra645 Yes. It was.
This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you! My project will need modifications but this will help me with the base design so much!
Fabulous! I'd love to see how you modify it!
Best tutorial I’ve seen so far ❤️❤️ thank you
Wonderful! Have fun cape making!
Thank you so much for this! Im cosplaying an original character and needed a good cape tutorial
Yay! I'm so glad it helped you with your costume!

And also, the holes on the side of it, allows his arms to appear out of it, and little ends where his hands are to REALLY spread it like literally

@@harrisonneves6007 sounds interesting! Thanks for telling me about it!
Nice video- could possibly use pinking shears for the notches on the collar
Very good point and actually, it's strange that I didn't do it that way this time, because usually I do!
Hi, I am confused about one thing. Is it two layer cape? I need to make one with two colors of fabric . Thanks :)

thank you!! this was very helpful for a cosplay where i needed a custom cape :DD
Hooray! What character were you making?

@wimdy cool!!
The collar is really helpful thank you
I'm so glad you like it! 💜
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot! :)
I'm so glad to hear that, Crystal! :)
thank you lady
Hope it was useful!
What is a lot of fabric? What do I ask for at the fabric shop?
Thank you.

um a Vampire Cape have tow colors

Great tutorial, however the background music was too much
Sorry. I have since been putting the music volume much futher down and hope that makes it better!
Wow very helpfull for me... thanks
Awesome! Happy cape making!
Ma'am you said easyyy
I did? Where? If I did, it was an accident!
Why divide by 6? I’m confused.
For the neck? Because here we need to calculate the radius of a circle. The circumference of the neck is circle circumference, and the radius is the amount to measure down from the top fold of fabric. The geometric calculation for circumference is 2 x pi x r, so if we need to find r (radius), the calculation is the circumference divided by 2 x pi. I simplified pi to just 3, so 2 x 3 = 6.
