CAPEtember #2: Mock Up & Planned Alterations // Vogue 9288 // So You Want to Sew A Cape

In this installment, we go over if you should make a mock-up for this sew-along, as well as some of the changes that I discovered I'd like to make based off of my own mock-up. No judgement from me if you don't want to make a mock-up of your own, but hopefully you can least check out mine and see if any of the changes I plan on making would apply to your own cape, whether you're using V9288 or a different pattern.

If you've always wanted to sew a cape, but weren't confident enough to do so by yourself, or if you've had a half-finished cape sitting in a corner, now is the time to come join in as we all join together to make some fabulous capes, cloaks, mantles, shawls, dolmans, etc!
