I used Vogue 6032 to make up this vintage cape. I had a lot of problems because I’m such a novice sewist, but I think it turned out really well! I’m very pleased with the cape and I just love walking around my neighborhood with it. Hopefully it warms up soon so I can wear it more often! More construction details and pictures here.
