Are you ready for Halloween? It’s October and I’m excited to be posting a series of 10 Halloween Costume Sewing Tips, sponsored by Janome Canada. To start the series with a “Boo!” (hee hee) I’m relaunching my popular Super Hero Cape pattern – updated with new photos and 2 new larger sizes!
The smile on your child’s face when they see their handmade costume is the best! Be your kid’s Halloween costume hero and sew it yourself! Find the first Janome Halloween Costume Tip in the instructions below and follow along on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest so you don’t miss the others. You can also find great sewing information, contests and free patterns on the Janome Life blog.
When I made the first Super Hero Capes for Christmas (2011!), they were a huge hit. My girls flew all over the house solving mysteries and doing super hero business. Usually they were saving someone, sometimes a prince in distress. (You go girl!) Sometimes they’d stop to save kittens from trees, or rescue babies from mean monsters and other things of that sort. Since then they’ve grown up a little, but the capes are still in good use during their creative plays and shows.
Many of you have asked for a cape in larger sizes and I’m excited to be able to upgrade the free pattern and tutorial below! The old post was looking pretty dated with tiny, dark photos – I hope you like the new version!
Free Cape Pattern and Tutorial
As usual, please feel free to use my patterns/tutorials for your personal projects and gifts and for charitable fundraising events. Please do not sell anything made with this pattern without a license. Thank you! (P.S. Buy a Seller’s License or a tidy printable PDF version of this Cape Pattern in the shop.)
Materials:
- 1 yard (child sizes) OR 1 1/2 yards (adult size) fabric for the cape outer
- 1 yard (child sizes) OR 1 1/2 yards (adult size) fabric for the cape lining
- optional: felt for the hero applique
- optional: fusible web (or a glue stick!) to attach the applique
- matching thread
- hook and loop tape (1″ piece each)
- sewing gear – scissors/sewing machine/pins/ruler/iron etc.
Before you begin:
- Print the pattern piece pdf on letter size (8.5″ x 11″) or A4 paper. Important: Do not select “fit to page” when printing, make sure you print at the original size. Once you have printed the pages, measure the 1″ test square to ensure the pattern is correct.
- Want to save paper?
- Size 3m-3 – Print only pages 1-7
- Size 4-8 – Print only pages 1-7
- Size 9-12 – Print only pages 1-9
- Adult size – Print all 11 pages
- Cut on each page’s outer gray lines and tape them together, matching the letters in the gray half-circles.
- Cut the pattern pieces out (with paper scissors!) along the line that corresponds to the size you would like to make.
Cut your fabric:
- Pre-wash your fabric before cutting to ensure it will not shrink in later washes.
- If you need a longer cape – here is a tutorial on how to lengthen the pattern pieces.
- Cut one cape shape per fabric colour using the pattern piece. * Be sure to place the pattern piece on the fabric fold before you cut it out!
Let’s Sew:
I recommend that you read through all instructions before sewing, so you don’t miss something important!
Step 1: Cut out the applique that will be on the back of the cape. Be creative! I used stars, hearts and letters to make each cape unique. Each logo was sized between 6″-9″ tall, depending on the size of the cape.
Halloween Sewing Tip #1:
If you are making a long-term project, make sure your layers have fusible web on the back. If you are sewing a one-night Halloween project, use a less-expensive approach! A regular school glue stick will adhere an applique while you sew around the edges.
Center the applique on the outer cape fabric piece approximately 3″-7″ down from the neck opening.
- Fusible web: Iron on the applique following the instructions on your fusible web. Use a press cloth if necessary so you do not melt the felt.
- Glue Stick: Attach the applique in place using the school glue stick, press with an iron on low heat from the back of the cape to set the glue if necessary.
Top-stitch the applique as you wish to tidy up the edges and make sure it stays on. I used the Blanket Stitch and Satin Stitch Foot F included with my on-loan Janome Skyline S9 to make the one of the appliques extra-nice!
Step 2: Lay the two cape pieces right sides together matching all of the edges. Pin. Mark a 6″ opening on the cape’s bottom edge by putting 2 pins in the same spot on each side. Leave this opening when you sew, it is where you will turn the cape right side out.
Stitch around the cape with a 1/4″ seam allowance, starting at one double-pin. Pivot around the corner on the neck opening. Finish at the other double-pin with a back-stitch.
Step 3: Clip the corners and trim around the curved edges of your neck opening to allow the cape to turn more easily. I use my pinking shears to trim tight curves.
Step 4: Press the seam allowance up on the bottom opening before turning the cape right side out. This creates an easy finished edge once the cape is turned.
Step 5: Turn the cape right side out and top-stitch. Push out your corners and edges neatly, press the cape flat and top-stitch 1/8″ or so away from the edge all the way around the edge of the cape. You can pin the opening shut before stitching or just wing it, the top-stitching will close the opening.
Step 6: Cut a 1″ piece each of hook and loop tape.
Use a zig-zag or straight stitch to sew the hook side of the tape onto the outer piece and the loop side of the tape onto the lining. This way the rough hooks are facing away from the neck when the cape is worn. Note: I like to cut off the corners of the tape when sewing for kids so they don’t get “stuck” with the pointy edges by accident. (* Don’t accidentally sew both hook and loop to the outer side of the cape, it won’t be able to close properly. Not sure why, but I have managed to do this more times than I would like to admit!)
Step 7: Sew a label or hero-worthy piece of ribbon onto the side of the cape.
Congratulations, give your cape a good press and you’re done!
I’d love to see your project! Please share your cape on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest using the hashtags #alongforthreadride and #threadridinghood. Thank you!

I am so thrilled today to let you know that I’m starting my first “real” workshop series in March! I have loved the other two one-time workshops I taught, it’s lovely to chat and talk with other sewers as we create things together. It seems that everyone has had a good time too!
Canadian online fabric shops Country Clothesline and Fabric Spark teamed up last year to open a brick-and-mortar shop in downtown Toronto. It’s a bright and airy space filled with (of course) gorgeous fabrics and fun notions.
I wrote last year about finding my passion where I didn’t expect it, and I’ve found that teaching is one of the things I hope to do more of. The fact that these lovely ladies asked me to teach is so good and I could not be happier!
You can join us for their Learn to Sew Series, specifically “Sewing for your Kids” class for 4 Thursday nights from March 23 to April 13, 2017. Find out more and sign up online here or here, or visit their shop for more details.
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten my farther-away friends! I will be releasing PDF patterns for each of the 4 projects here on the blog over the next few months. They are all beginner-friendly patterns, specifically designed to increase your sewing knowledge while being perfect gifts for your kids or grandkids (and yourself!)
If you want a laugh, check out this video we took of my youngest during our photo shoot. It was a little chilly!
Here are the 4 projects you’ll be making and what you’ll learn:
Pencil Case (or Sewing Pouch!)
Insert your first zipper into this fully lined and finished pouch. Plus, learn how to sew a French seam.
Fabric: Keely by Alexander Henry, Aunt Ruthie’s Dots on Blue
Child’s Apron (multi-size pattern!)
Finish this simple apron with a neck and hem facing, easy straps and a customizable pocket with tidy edge-stitching.
Fabric: Raindrop Cicada Song, Braidy in Teal
Child’s Throw Blanket
This whole-cloth blanket is flannel backed and omits any batting for the perfect spring/summer weight. Learn to create self-bound mitered corners and how to hand tie a quilt for an easy (and quick) finish.
Fabric: Sew Cherry 2 Red Daisy, Mammoth Flannel in Red
Tote Bag (for You!)
Create a tote bag with boxed corners and curved edges. Find out how to use fusible stabilizers and interfacing to make a stable bag, plus insert a lining to finish it off.
Fabric: Talking Heads, Theory of Aviation Denim Newsprint
I would love to see you there! Let me know if there is anything else you’d love to learn at a workshop.

This post makes my week. Wednesday’s Fat Quarter Skirt pattern release post has everything you need to know (+ some cute pictures), but today I get to truly share my excitement with you!
Getting pattern tester photos in my email is like Christmas! It’s so fun to see what they have created. It reminds me how great our sewing community is. I am so grateful for all of their hard work, double-checking my measurements and finding new and better ways to do things.
Working together has made this pattern better that I could have alone, 2 whole pages longer, and more beginner friendly. The very hardest part of my job was to go through and pick one or two photos from each of them to share. So, especially to the pattern testers… Thank you for helping to make this release a success! And thank you for all your kind words!

The Fat Quarter Skirt pattern is now available!
This skirt pattern has been a favorite at our house for years. Combine just two fat quarters of fabric (commonly stashed in many sewing rooms!) to fit a child wearing sizes 2-6. My girls love wearing them with sweaters and leggings in the winter and t-shirts in the summer time. I love that it is cost-effective and quick sew.
“The only thing that would have made this pattern better was less choice in my stash so I could decide faster!” ~ Stacey, pattern tester
This “twirl-friendly” skirt has a fun contrast band at the bottom and an easy-to-fit elastic waistband. It is a simple, beginner-friendly pattern with a few tricks to keep it easy and fun. Great for quilters who haven’t had garment sewing experience and would like a simple starter project – it even has a 1/4″ seam allowance! Or, are you teaching your kids to sew? It’s simple enough for them to understand as well.
Make your little girl happy and de-stash some fabric. (Win, Win!)

“… love that my four-year-old could help out a little… she assisted in fabric selection, cutting and a couple of side seams. Great for learning!” ~ Gillian, pattern tester
This skirt features 5 sizes, child’s 2-6, to create a skirt that is 9-11 1/2″ (23-30cm) long. The easily adjusted elastic waistband fits your child perfectly, and it makes dressing easier too!

Expect lots of tips and tricks throughout, a glossary of terms, recommended best practices and instructions geared towards an absolute beginner. This pattern is truly a quick sew – allow yourself just 1-3 hours to finish, including your fabric cutting time. It’s also a great stash-buster, requiring only 2 fat quarters and a length of elastic… things you probably already have in your stash.

I made hats – real hats – Fedoras, even! These were sewn as part of the Canadian Sewing Blog Hop, a collection of Canadian bloggers gushing about the amazing Canadian resources we have available – and giving 3 huge prizes away ! (Find the giveaway below and click here for more great Canadian Discounts.)
I wanted to feature a Canadian pattern designer (similar to this hop last year!) and chose Elegance and Elephants – who graciously sent me the Fedora Hat pattern I’ve been dying to make for years. My girls love the results, and I’m trying not to make about 17 more of them. (Attempting to learn how to slow down, right?!) E&E Patterns has a great collection of children’s patterns. (Epic Bubble Shorts!)
My girls are wearing two of their eight+ Bohemian Babydoll dresses in these photos. The one my youngest has on was a pattern test that used to fit my oldest. It’s by far one of my most favorite kid-friendly woven patterns – meaning I love it as much as my kids. It’s a quick sew, twirls and has ruffles – what more could you want?! Right now you can get a discount on anything in the E&E Pattern Shop during their Summer Sale. Just use the code SUMMER to get 10% off from June 27-July 4.
Back to the hats… The blue denim embroidered hat was the first one I made and it took only about 1 1/2 hours, start to finish. Such a quick, easy sew! Love, Love, Love. (All the heart-eye emojis for this one!) The pattern pieces were spot on, and since there aren’t many of them it was fast. The stashed denim is from at least 7 years ago when a fabric shop near me was going out of business. I’ve been trying to use it up ever since!
The second one (no fault of the pattern) took me about 4 1/2 hours. Lesson learned – stick to the recommended fabrics! This hat really is best sewn up in a thicker fabric with more body. The poplin I used for the pink hat just didn’t go together as easily, and you can see it in the wavy and puckered seams. While I know it does still look ok, I’m a still-recovering perfectionist, remember?! I added a little Liberty of London (dismantled from this never-worn scarf) around the crown and a twill bow, because my oldest originally wanted a white band like her sister. #keepingtheyoungunshappy
Putting a hat together is really not as hard as it might seem. I had everything I needed in my stash already. I would recommend that you are a very confidant beginner, or intermediate sewer – since making sure the curves are sewn without puckers is important. Other than that it’s very straight forward. It’s even fully lined with the same fabric as my faux-leather Marmalade jacket. (of course I forgot to photograph the inside, argh! There are good photos of the inside on the pattern listing.)
Please be sure to check out the other Canadian blogs below for more Canadian content and supplies. And, if you need any fabric, I know a great Pinterest board with over 60 Canadian shops on it. *wink, wink* I’m so proud of us – the Canadian shops have really stepped it up over the last few years and can now supply pretty much everything we need! Bonus – if you are from the US – your $$ go really far up here!
