Bolero Cape
help with making a cape for a communion outfit?
My sister has been let down by the store that she ordered my nieces bolero to go with her Communion Dress and we can't find anything nice as an alternative, so we have decided to make her a white velvet cape with a silver diamante cross on the back
I have the material (and some to spare as well...it's me !! I'm not as good as I think I am)
I tried a little template but it didn't go quite as well as I'd hoped.
I thought cutting the material into a semi circle lining it and adding the ribbon to tie it at the neck
How should I be cutting this material to get a perfect semi circle. I only have scissors, no compass other than the average school sized one that I can probably find in a pencil case somewhere
Or if I am doing this wrong please let me know how you would do it.
It is just a simple cape..no sleeves and will sit just above her waist
Thanks for any info...It's this Sunday AAHHH
Scroll down until you see a picture of a one quarter of a circle. It should appear about half way down the link. Read the instructions to the left of the picture on how to cut for a quarter of a circle. You don't need a compass just a nail or thumb tack and string. If you don’t have any newspaper around find something that would approximate the page. If you place the quarter pattern on the fold when you open it you will have your half circle. I hope this helps. Tell your niece congratulation
