Kids’ Cape Patterns for Costumes and Play

Children’s dress-up

I have a bunch of boys at my house. That puts me in the ideal position for designing boy patterns, doesn’t it? I absolutely love it. The only problem though, is that my baby boys keep growing up! This little guy, for example, is turning three years old tomorrow! How can that be?! And he is all about superheroes right now. So with his superhero birthday coming up I thought it was absolutely vital for him to get a shiny new mommy-made cape. He is pleased! And you can be too because today we are sharing the pattern with you! Our super cape is reversible, sturdy, fits up to adult size necks, and it has several ways to safely close it without being a strangulation hazard. (Ribbon ties scare me!) My little guy can put his cape on and off by himself, no phone booths needed! To make your own super cape, here’s what you will need: Pattern pieces for CKC Super Cape (click here to print) 1 yard fabric Your choice of closure (snaps, velcro, buttons, etc) Scissors Pins Instructions: First you will print the pattern pieces (link above) and tape them together. Cut out the cape piece. Fold your fabric in half width-wise, and then again in half width-wise, so it looks like the photo above. This will give us two folds on the left side, one inside the other. Lay the pattern piece on the fold and pin in place. Cut around the curves. This will give us two cape pieces. Note: If you want your cape to be different colors front and back, you can repeat with your second fabric color (1 yard) and it will give you two additional cape pieces. You can now make two reversible capes! I chose to do red on one side and black on the other, for my boys’ two favorite superheroes. I was planning to put a symbol on the red side until my older son pointed out that superman has a symbol on his chest, not on his cape. Good point. Let’s continue… Place your two cape layers on a flat surface with right sides facing. Pin in place all around the edges. Then sew along the pinned edges and curves, leaving a 4\
