When I finished this cape it reminded me of Sherlock Holmes for some reason. I think is it the plaid fabric I used to make it. Even though I don't think pink and black were colors he would have worn. This pattern is out of print McCall's 5764. A very easy to sew pattern. The most challenging part of sewing this cape was trying to match the plaids. You must do the plaid matching at the cutting stage.
I am close to matching on most of the cape. Well it is close enough for me. I am happy with the results and I even found four black vintage buttons in my stash to use on the front closing. This is one of the many patterns I picked up at the auction. I love it when I find a few patterns that I want to make in the box of patterns from the auction.
