Vampire Cape Pattern – Unisex Easy Halloween Costume: Part 1

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.

• 1/2 a yard of white two-way stretch fabric OR an old white t-shirt
