Cosplay Tutorial: How To Make A Cape
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I'm sorry this is so long but I wanted to make sure I covered everything in one video. I go over a few different types of capes, collars and way to attach them. If you have any questions please look through here first as someone may have asked it; other than ask, ask away!
********QUESTIONS********
HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT THE RADIUS SO YOU CAN CUT THE NECK HOLE?
First take the circumference of your neck, as an example mine is 11 inches. The equation for finding the radius if you have the circumference is C/2(3.14). Essentially your equation will be C/6.28 or in the case of my neck 11/6.28. Easy! I always round up just to make sure I'm covered for any seam allowance or calculating errors.
HOW MUCH FABRIC DO YOU NEED TO MAKE A CAPE?
This varies from cape to cape but you do require a lot! Most of mine require at least four yards and keep in mind that those are half circle capes.
THEY DON'T MAKE FABRIC BIG ENOUGH FOR MY CIRCLE CAPE!
You'll probably have to make two half circles and sew them together. You can keep the two seams on the shoulders to make it less obvious.
WHAT FABRIC SHOULD I USE FOR MY CAPE? This depends on you, the original artwork and how you want it to flow. I've seen capes made from several different types of fabric including: cottons, rayon, linens, vinyls, broadcloth and fur. It really depends on you and what you want to make and what will compliment the rest of the costume.

Yeah what a great tutorial. She doesn't even make the cape. Just amazing.
3:00 "All that math crap" -That was pretty funny
This video is just what I needed to make my cape. Thank you, Steff.
I searched all over for a comprehensive cape tutorial and thankfully most yours the most informative so I thank you. Helped me get my Batman cape in one shot. i could always use a spunky Robin.
I've always loved the Silver Age collared cape look! So glad someone made a video on it - thank you! :)
OH MY GOD!!!! OLD SCHOOL ROBIN CAPE! I WANT IT!!!!! THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING TO MAKE!!!!! I LOVE YOU!
So i know this is a REALLY old video, but i was wondering if you had any tips for a shoulder cape? One that just drapes off the side and flows down.

It’s nine years old now lol!
Camera quality is ahead of it's time from 11 years ago!
This tutorial is by far the best I've watched! Thank you so much! I will use this for the Beauxbatons capelet!
Bless you! I am doing a Burt Ward Robin for halloween, and you have just saved me re: the cape!
I just wanted to say thanks for the tutorial! I just made my first cape using it and it turned out great :)
Thank you for this, im making a cape for my storm cosplay, the black outfit with crown 👑
Thank you!! This is the best cape tutorial I have found! :-)
Sweet tutorial! I'm just starting out but you make the concepts easy to grasp. Have you seen anyone make a 3/4 circle cape? I want my cape to be open but not as much as a half circle cape.
I love everything about this video lol. Your hair is awesome!! And the figures on your bookshelf are awesome xD this video helped a lot too! Thank you ^-^
Thank you! Just made my first cape, your video was super helpful!
I feel woefully unprepared top stitch, interfacing, Sewing MACHINE???! Oh boy, should've taken classes before I thought I could do this.
just made my own and it came out great thank you for this tutorial :)
Fantastic video and now I can make me a cape for kamina. Also you are very correct about the don't use hot glue on the thing that is holding up your cape. In architecture it's referred to as a keystone. That thing in the middle that's required. If it falls they all fall. Thanks again :)
I just want to say you are friggin' AWESOME :) Thank you! SO MUCH!
Thanks for this tutorial! :D I saw your Hit-Girl cosplay on dA and it looked awesome. In your opinion, what fabric works best for capes?
thank you soooo much for doing this video, this helped me sooo much with my Tharja's cloak
Very useful, you should definitely make more tutorials!
I'm finally getting around to getting supplies together for my cape i'm going to make and i was wondering where you got the large hook and eye that you talked about for the hit girl cape and the Harley Quinn cape? i'm having a tough time locating some online
I'm doing a Stephanie Brown Robin costume, and I was wondering what you would suggest in regards to whether it should be a half circle or just sit on my shoulders and what I should use for a closure.
Your hair is SO cute!

What camera are you using?? The video is very clear :)
Do you have any tips on making the shoulder pads for Piccolo’s cape?
Hey- so I'm making a Damian cape, and I'm not sure whether to use spandex, or a more cotton-y fabric. Or maybe one that's shiny on the outside and dull on the other. Or just not shiny at all. What do you recommend and what did you make yours out of?
Hello! I planned on making a robe from Journey the game. Your video seemed to be helpful on most parts but I would like to see you take a stab at it as well, just to see if I did the patterning correctly.
I love your hair :D nice video btw ♥
Great video, thank you.
I was actually looking for a cape design like what Wiccan wears, how would you recommend making that style or what materials would you recommend?
im looking to make a cape thats long and has detailed cuts at the bottom, should i bother lining it or no?
Hi i am making my costume for scarlet witch and i wanted to ask u If u think is better one piece of fabric or two for the cape cause is a lot of fabric and If i put two pieces is maybe too heavy... Alzó do u think is better with the hood ?
Is it possible to make a half sided shoulder cloak? Like it look likes like a shoulder cape but is only on one side.

Would you think it would be easy to make a cape with leather? And like a rectangle shape ( with a corners at the end of the cap kinda like superman's )
awesome and thank you for the video .
I just wanted to say your awesome and cool!!!! I want to make a robin cape for myself with a hood. Do you have the pattern on how to make the hood? Thanks
Very informative, thanks for the video. Trying to make a cape for a TXrenfest costume based on the character Gattsu from Berserk. :)
Thank you so much
I dig the hair.
What kind of fabric is the yellow and lack one made of
Thanks for making this vid
So so helpful! I'm working on making Shredder's cape from 1987 tmnt cartoon. His cape does this interesting draping thing on the front of the neck and the cape sits on the shoulders. Just wondering if you had any ideas on how I would make the collar for it so it sits the way it is supposed to. I plan on making the front piece separate from the cape but I'm having issues trying to figure out how to attach the two pieces and attach it to myself.

My Shredder cape is in two parts. The front is draped, and sewn to the back so that the seam is on the under side of the cape. I sewed velcro to the seam allowance, and attached it to the shirt so it's held in place.
how did you make the collar on the capes?
what matireal do you make them out of
Cool :) thank you sooo much!!!
What does the cape look like ??? on and how much do you charge ???? Al
About how large should the fabric be before making a cape out of it? From what I've seen, fabric comes rather thin in width--although you can buy as much length as possible--and I'm not sure how to solve this problem...
thanks!
umm well i can tell your videos really helpfull but for some reson i just cant understand it can you help?
Please make more tutorials!
how would you atach a a hood like out of batman arkham city for robin
you said "dont worry i will totally guide you along the way" i heard "dont worry im hot and good at explaining things!"
thank you
Where can i see your damian wayne cosplay?
Holy shit, you look like Atsuko Maeda ! Also, thanks a lot for this tutorial. I'm probably gonna use it for Young Justice my fem!Robin cosplay :D
Ty
ok maybe you explained it in the video, and I'm just too stupid to under stand. if I make a half cape or a quarter cape wouldn't that only go half or a quarter way around the neck? How do you close up that gap?
good tutorial thnx
So, you got a new camera. What is it? I noticed that your videos keep looking better and better since you mentioned getting it. I assume you've just been tweaking its settings. Also, I feel inclined to tell you that you look strikingly similar to Daenerys Targaryen from the HBO series Game of Thrones.
Haaii there~ I'm thinking about making the costume of Frederico from Wonderland Online (The game isn't that popular but I really like the character. Also i don't think I'm allowed to link anything here, or so I remember, so if you don't mind googling for him? ^^" ) I was thinking of making the cape out of velvet and doubling it up with the material i'm going to make the rest of the costume out of? I don't really know if it'd work so I'm looking for an opinion here ^^"
there nice capes
Thx
I like your hair!

So instead of a hood, I want to do a sorta turtle neck ordeal. If you ever seen naruto, something like the kimono coat of the akatski (It's been a while since I've watched naruto, so sorry for spelling)

I am planning on cosplaying dualscar from homestuck, if you google his cape, by his head, like behind it, it has parts sticking up, how would you make that?

Homestuck Everywhere Hi! I've never made a cape before, or had much sewing experience, but I'd recommend cutting the design out of craft foam and then gluing your fabric to the foam, and then sewing it to the rest of your cape.
