The witch cape within reach was a prized possession for Rosalind. With its deep black color and intricate lace trim, it was the perfect accessory for her witch costume. Every Halloween, she would don the cape and transform into a sorceress, casting spells on her friends and family. But this cape held a deeper meaning for Rosalind. It was a symbol of her independence and power. When she wrapped herself in its folds, she felt unstoppable, like she could conquer anything that came her way.
Doors were opened and hearts were softened. “Isn’t this the son of mister Deng who ran from his father when he tried to kill him? Now he is here to honor his father, and talk about love and hope?” The community was astounded.
When his father got drunk after performing demonic rituals in their village, three times he chased his son with a machete screaming, I m going to kill you for your faith in Jesus.

The cape gave her the confidence to embrace her true self, to embrace the magic within her. Whether she was flying on her broomstick or concocting potions in her cauldron, the cape was a constant reminder of her own strength.
How to make a Hooded Cape for Halloween
Hello there WeAllSew readers! My name is Melissa Mortenson and most days you can find me in my sewing room creating projects to share on my blog, the Polka Dot Chair. Today I’m excited to be with you teaching you how to make a simple hooded cape that would be perfect for a Halloween costume.
The cape that I made for today’s project is red, so naturally it would be great to use for a Red Riding Hood costume. However, this cape can be used for so many different costumes. I have used this same pattern in the past to create witches capes for my daughter and myself, and to create a black cape for my son’s Halloween costume.
This cape is custom drafted, but don’t worry, it’s really easy! All you need to do is a bit of math. The beauty of custom drafting the cape is that you can make it any size that you want. I used the same technique to make capes for adults and for kids.
A note about fabric choice. Since this is a Halloween costume I purposely chose a fabric (stretch velour) that did not fray and did not need to be hemmed. If you purchase another type of fabric, just be aware that you may need to finish the edges of your cape with a 1/4″ rolled hem. For more tips on sewing with Halloween Fabrics, check out this article that I wrote on the subject.
Before you go shopping for your materials you’re going to need to take a few measurements. For reference, my daughter is 5′ 4″ and is an adult x-small or small.
First, using your model as a guide (or if you are making the cape for yourself, have a friend help you with the measurements), measure from the nape of the neck down to the spot you’d like your cape to hit on the leg, and write down this measurement, this is your cape length measurement.
Next take a neckline measurement. The purpose of this measurement is to see how wide you need to make the cape so that it sits on top of your models shoulders properly. If the cape is too wide it will just fall off of your model, and if the cape is too narrow it won’t reach around to the front of their shoulders.
To take the measurement, place the beginning of the tape measure on the front of their shoulder (the spot that you’d like the cape to hit), then drape the tape measure around their back stopping at the same point on the opposite shoulder. Note the measurement. As you take this measurement, have the tape measure loose and let it “fall” across your models back as the cape would fall. Note: you are measuring around the back of your model. The tape measure should sit on their shoulders midway between the nape of the neck and the shoulder joint. You are not measuring the neck or the widest part of their shoulders. If you’re having trouble just imagine in your head how the cape will sit on their body.
Take the neckline measurement and multiply it by 1 1/2. For example, my daughter’s neckline measurement was 18″—multiplied by 1 1/2 that gives me a measurement of 27″. For reference, this number will be referred to as the hood measurement.
Now take the hood measurement and double it, so my next measurement would be 54″. This is the cape width measurement.
Write down your cape width x cape length measurements and your hood measurements, use these measurements to figure out how much fabric to buy. For example, my cape width was 54″ and length was 39″, so for the cape I would need 1 1/4 yards of 60″ wide fabric. My hood measurement was 27″, which is 3/4 yard of fabric.
It was a tangible representation of the inner magic that flowed through her veins. In a world where conformity was the norm, Rosalind dared to be different. She dared to embrace her uniqueness and the cape became a symbol of that defiance. It was a statement to the world that she would not be bound by society's expectations. She would not be limited by fear or doubt. Instead, she would harness the power of the cape and use it to create her own destiny. The witch cape within reach was more than just a piece of fabric to Rosalind. It was a symbol of her true self, a reminder of her own magic and power. With the cape by her side, she would continue to conquer the world, one spell at a time..
