Hello!
I have one last DIY from the 2014 fall/winter collections, and although it’s not technically spring (it is in LA), it’s totally in the air!
With that said, who can deny the awesomeness of anything Marc Jacobs?
Those capes/small jackets from his fall 2014 collection are perfection and with bright florals or light colors it’s sure to be a stand out for this spring!
- Fashion fabric and lining. You will need an additional yard of your fashion fabric to make the wrap/bow feature,
- you will use the cape part found on picture D (in the pattern) and the collar from picture C from the New Look Pattern,
Directions:
- Cut out pattern and fabric as instructed by your pattern.
- For the Wrap. Cut out 2: 15″ x 24″ rectangles, sew together leaving one short end opened, and turn right side out.
- Pleat the short end together to fit between the neckline seam and the shoulder notch (located on the pattern), as seen below.
- Pin into place right in between the neckline seam and the shoulder notch (located on the pattern), as seenin the pictures below.
- Continue to sew garment according to pattern instructions and your finished!
Again, this is a suuuuper and fast sewing project.To wear the cape, simply put it on your shoulders, make a single loose knot, and widen the ends for volume.
The bow is never tied too tight and always kept pretty loose as seen here and here.
I love this because it easily adds a little drama to such a simple look!
It’s a like a present!
Great for any occasion, in addition to special occasions or a fun date night!
As spring is approaching, I am so excited to share with you some of my favorite looks from the runways.
