More info and pics here: www.arabarahara.com/blog/sewing-houndstooth-cape-with-belt-vogue-v9288 My first time sewing something more complex, using light-weight woven knit fabric and VOGUE V9288 pattern. I am so happy with the end result!
Absolutely fantastic, especially for someone who by the sounds of it hadn’t done a lot of the things it asked!! You had so many first on this project... well done for sticking with it and it looks amazing 😍
I am so impressed with your tenacity! Your video is well done and very relatable! I cannot tell you how much I related to so many of the learning curves you had to overcome. Final product looks great and I hope you get a lot of wear out of it!
That's a cool design. I don't think, I've ever seen anything quite like it. It would make for a cool raincoat, too. If one made it a size too large, one could easily wear it over one's regular outerwear and still look fairly stylish. And most raincapes sold for that purpose do not look or fit very nicely.
Good job. I love that you have to stop mid sewing to Google what a narrow hem is I thought I was the only person who tries to tackle complicated patterns and then has to stop part way to look up to things 🤣😂🙏🏽💙.... how long did it take you to complete this project I have the same pattern I'm thinking about tackling it next
It took me about 3 weeks with uni and work! I would only sew during the daylight as I was recording this video, otherwise it can definitely be done in a couple of days!!!
The intended fabric is a thicker kind of wool, and the cape is very large so I doubt it can be vulnerable to the cold! It is also supposed to be worn on top of your outfit, so it’s for fashion but also is pretty practical. There aren’t armholes though!
Its basically a pinafore (the front part) and then a Cape (around my shoulders). Then both get tied around with the belt. It makes it really easy to move around in!!! The instructions are very clear and the process is super worth it 🥰
Thank you so much!!! I’m just getting in to sewing and I’m honestly so pumped. Just the thought of being able to create my own clothes! Your video is extremely inspiring, it’s so awesome to see you create it. I hope you do more vogue follow along patterns in the future! They’re definitely my favorite patterns I can find so far. :) thank you again
