This is the vampire cape pattern, a perfect sewing project for the upcoming cold, grey, lazy sewing October days.
This is a vampire cape pattern for a unisex Halloween costume that can be stitched in a couple of hours. It uses your sewing scraps and an old t-shirt, and turns it into a cool and striking costume (plus reducing the budget significantly). The original cape is short but I will also be showing you how to make the long version.
It will fit a person 4'3″ to 5'7″, from about 3XS to 2XL. The full costume is very easy to fit, so easy that I can make a large dog can wear it.
