A cloak with a hood is a very necessary thing in a children's wardrobe. If you sew it from a moisture-repellent raincoat fabric, an excellent raincoat will come out. Well, if you use a satin or velvet fabric for work, then you will get a wonderful accessory for the New Year's costume of a princess or prince. In order to create such a product, you need a pattern. A cape with a hood is built on the basis of even rectangles and should not cause difficulties even for those who have never sewed anything with their own hands. A little zeal - and an excellent raincoat will be quickly ready.
Cutting products
What measurements are needed to get a suitable size pattern? A cape with a hood is built on the basis of measurements from the shoulder to the desired product length and head circumference. For the base of the cloak, you need a rectangle with a fabric width of 1.2 m or 1.5 and a length equal to the height from the shoulder to the hem level. For the hood, you will need two squares with sides corresponding to half the volume of the head +5 cm. You will have to work on this detail a little more, namely to round the corner on the crown, narrow the side of the square to the back of the square by 5 cm and lower the cuts to the face along the border of the neck access to 3 cm. After all the manipulations, a finished pattern will come out. A hooded cloak can also be with tucks at the neck to shorten the length of the cut at the neck. This technique will be needed when using a dense canvas, and for thin raincoat fabric, you can do without hidden pinches.
Slicing
After the pattern is built, the cloak with a hood is ready for cutting. All sections of parts after grinding should be processed with an overlock. Also, accurate seams will be obtained if they are sewn with an oblique trim. In extreme cases, you can use the machine line "zigzag". Also, a linen seam is perfect for processing . In this case, it will be necessary to give allowances for the seams of at least 3 cm. Along the perimeter, the cape should be tucked and stitched, including the area of open sections of the hood.
Assembly parts
In what sequence do you need to assemble the parts and how to sew a cloak with a hood? First of all, you need to lay the bow folds at the neck and fix them by laying a line. Next, you need to grind the elements of the hood and attach it to the base of the cloak. It is also necessary to cut out strips from the fabric and sew them into ties (or use keeper or satin ribbons for this purpose).
It should be borne in mind that the assembly and processing of sections is carried out gradually and after each grinding, a weld treatment is required. Thus, the product will come out neat and beautiful. If desired, a cloak can be made on the buttons along the front cut.
