How to Make a Winter Cape (Cloak? Poncho??) | WITHWENDY

[@janedoe3209]

this was by far the simplest diy for pockets ive ever seen. i love the diys on this channel becuase theyre always very easy to follow for projects that would otherwise seem overwhelming

[@krea3732]

I just finished mine and I am so happy with how it turned out. It was quite easy, even though the pocktes were a pain in the ass, but the cape itself is just awesome! I added a little button on the top, to make it a little more secure and I didn't even buy some wool, I just used a blanket I found (this may be interesting for people on a budget). Thank you for the diy, Wendy, you're awesome!

[@Nicken0o0]

krea sorry i accidentally pressed on dislike but i immediately clicked on like again, but i just wanna say thank you that lifted up my spirits a bit

[@rebawasswass3716]

Krea, excellent idea using the blanket!

[@Momoshi42]

I really hope you could show the finished piece properly in every direction at the end of video. I didn't really understood how the scarf part works or how it looks like on front.

[@withwendy]

Made a wool cape and got to wear it for the first time on last weekend's Chicago roadtrip. Skip the pockets if you want this to be much easier. Happy watching, happy sewing, happy travels, happy Thanksgiving! For the Americans ;)

[@user-gw1bk1dw3z]

I loved it, can you pleeeaase please pleaaase make a cardigan pleaaser, I love your channel and I enjoy watching all your videos and id love to know how to make a cardigan. If you read this and like to reply to my request i would explode with the exciement, because i cant find any good cardigans with pretty colors, either it is pretty and awful quality or ugly color but good quality, i know you will be able to do this, and if you already have one, please link it. Thanks!😄

[@elcid812]

+Maki Garza she has 3 cardigan tutorials now. 1 is from a few years ago and then 2 of them are in 1 video and it's pretty new.

[@rachelblythe3511]

[@atelierofwitchhat]

I was hoping to see more of the finished product but there were barely any clips : (

[@yvettebooth67]

Love this tutorial a wool cape, wow. One it seems easy enough for me as a beginner sewer and two big enough to fit a curvy woman as myself. Thanks for this tutorial. This is a must do diy. Thanks

[@NerdyLazorz]

I've wanted to make this for years and I finally have!! Thank you so much for all that you do, Wendy! I've learned so much from you over the years!

[@whitney1m1white]

Hey Wendy, This is the best cape/poncho online so far, and you uploaded this a year ago! I have made this cape twice now, and I have 3 tips for future seamstresses attempting this: 1) add lining to the scarf piece 2) internal/concealed pockets were more useful and easier than external slit pockets 3) double-fold hem is better with wool coating fabric.

[@797teresa2889]

thank you for the welt pocket instructions. I'm an advanced sewer but never figured out how to do them.

[@MusicdudeForever123]

this is so weird, your channel has every item that ive ever wanted. i hope you blow up because i love your diys and editing and everything else about you!!

[@KatieNovaRose]

oh my gosh wool looks so lovely and warm and easy to use! that knot hack tho. thats epic.

[@rosemcginty1738]

Your cape tutorial is the best one I have seen. Coats are too confining for me so capes are the next best thing. I would add a little more yardage for myself because I like them longer. Thank you so much for such a wonderful tutorial. GOD BLESS.

[@jellybeansbud3610]

This is so nice. I bet it would look even cooler with a cool colored lining.

[@SamuraiMover]

Wendy: pockets are very optional... Me: NO!!! POCKETS ARE A MUST!!!

[@alexislane7175]

Learnt something new today, the way you tie your knots. Will totally be borrowing that one.

[@HieuNguyen-xb2mm]

I'm not quite confident enough to give something like this a try yet but I love the tutorial. I've been watching your videos for awhile now and I just wanted to thank you and let you know that your an inspiration 😊

[@darlingtonorji9238]

You made look so simple. Am new to sewing but my mum thought me a few things so I am just loving your tutorials. Well done and Thank you. Dx

[@Zoejo]

Words can't describe how much I love your tutorials! Everything you make is amazing!

[@brittneyjohnson3642]

you are amazing for this tut, I have only sewn once before in my whole 22 years of living, but since iv been trying to find a cape to my liking there so expensive .. I cannot believe I haven't learned to sew properly I have not yet watched this video before I decided to comment but I'm just gonna let you know you will be my inspiration for starting my new fashion journey iv never contemplated becoming a fashion person but I'm positive this video will seal the deal for me thank you so much wendy

[@akshaysomvanshi1304]

I loved the video but it would be better if you could show the end product on yourself or on hanger

[@runnergirlMS]

Go to her blog to see it. Link in her description box

[@Mengjoanne]

I made a yoga poncho from 1 yard of fabric. Long sleeves and short on torso. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@AdirondackRuby]

Pockets are never optional. They should be required in all things. LOL! Love the way you make your thread knots. Will have to try that.

[@lyrehcb8156]

This is such a great tutorial. I even enjoyed the road trip footage. I have some woven wool that I was looking of the perfect cape/cloak/poncho tutorial for and I think this may be it. Thanks for sharing, yours came out beautifully.

[@michelemcclarren]

brilliant as a self taught new sewing girl it is a great easy way to do a cape plus very stylish

[@Rozes301]

I was just hunting for a winter cape coat reasonably priced for the last few days. I needed to see this! I think I can do this.Thank you!

[@Zoejo]

I was just thinking about how I was going to make one of those, before I saw this was uploaded! You read my mind! I live in Minnesota, and I think this will be perfect for the cold weather! I'm definitely making this ASAP, and I hope I'll remember to tag you!

[@rhondapooh1234]

Can you do a vlog where you show us where you do your fabric shopping? I went in joanns once and immediately came out because i had no idea on what to do

[@KnickKnackPatty]

+Rhonda Harris And also how to estimate how much fabric to buy and what you do with leftovers scrap material?

[@f.i3706]

I love the fact that you can see the measuring tape and also that it is a bit zoomed in!

[@sihemsworld3905]

I love your DIYs because you make everything so simple and easy !!! I tried once the backbag tutoriel, and it was so cute , I loved it, Thank you

[@sheilahrazzy]

Thanks for the tutorial....i love the tips on tying off the thread and an easier way to sew pockets!

[@apurupamargapuri4192]

I love your thumbnails and just generally all the pictures you take in your clothes! full of motion and really whimsical. havent seen anything like it before :)

[@MsMaydin]

Hi Wendy, glad I came across you channel :) Please post/add a picture of you wearing the cape. I can't really see how it came out (in full) wanted to see how the top/scarf part looks like so that I can make the same or adjust it a little. Thanks ✨

[@MsCupcAkers]

Hello Wendy ☺ I only have enough fabric for a 12 x 56 neck wrap. Do you think a 4" difference will matter? Thank you for all the work you put into these DIY's, can't wait to see what the future brings ☺

[@AyeNeNAy]

And you inspired me! I'm working on a circle caplet and I had no idea what to do for the ties. Hopefully I have enough black fleece in the basement to finish off with the scarf like "ties"

[@Aaarandom]

So gorgeous! I wouldn't wear it cuz it's not my style BUT I throughly enjoyed the construction. Beautiful work

[@joannmccraw7235]

I love the way you explained everything. I'm going to give it a try, but make it reversible and use fleece instead of wool. Wish me luck! BTW I always thought: Capes buttoned, tied or snapped at the neck and did go below the waist, and did not have pockets. Cloaks were below the knee or to the ankle, again no pockets. Ponchos were put on over the head, did not open all the way in the front and had a "pouch" big enough for both hands in the front center on the outside and no other pockets and the basic shape was squared rather than rounded. Guess I just "dated" my self with those comments. LOL I like the style of your garment (except for the front opening). Will send you a pic when it is finished.

[@tammyko7171]

Wendy! I never really comment, so I just want to tell you I love your channel and your tutorials on what to make by sewing it yourself! Can't wait to try some of your diy clothes :)

[@marietta172]

You inspired me!! I saw your video in my Recommends and I checked some of your older tutorials and I already love your channel 💞💞💞

[@AbstractLacquers]

Just made this out of fleece for my mom. It's amazing!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! 😊😊

[@bernadineschacht8175]

Good explanation on a very stylish and practical warm weather cape. Thank you.

[@sanginikaul3035]

oh my!! Seeing your older videos and now! It's so lovely to see your channel grow xD

[@browneyedgurl494]

Loved this tutorial - I think it was your easiest-to-understand yet! Thanks girl!

[@dence5225]

I love how you explain everything, I actually think I will be able to make those pockets, greetings from México

[@BettieJane]

The cape is amazing and the simplicity of the project blew me away. I must make one!! Do you have photos of you wearing this?

[@carolineshorb1875]

I think I just fell in L O V E with this channel! I've been literately looking everywhere for a cloak tutorial! Thank you!

[@eclecticbarbie2776]

Wendy I absolutely LOVE this cape! I hope to try one for myself soon! You have such great ideas and your work always looks so professional!

[@johanapintos6649]

I was waiting this tutorial so muchhh, now is summer where i live, but near to autum i will do this cape ♡ thanks dear God bless you always!

[@siren858]

I just ordered a really nice wool fabric to make this - I'll let you know how I go with it! Thanks for the inspiration :-D

[@Bamboostyx1]

Wendy, you did a great job. Very professional.work. I am looking forward to making a few for myself. I may even make them longer for dramtic effect.

[@dlsanders1229]

I love your tutorials! Could you show me how to make those pockets in a video? Also a larger tab collar? You are so awesome!

[@amarene18]

Okay but there are not enough likes on this video for that incredible vlog type thing in the beginning! Loveeee

[@Nadals1209]

Hi Wendy, I have been wtaching you since the day you make a blouse .... I guess 3 years ago It's so nice to see you all grown up. I have a question did you learned to sew in a school ( your major) or you just went through it because you like? I know this question may look stupid but it's answer will be so helpful and inspiring to me

[@withwendy]

+Loubna Sebti I just learned sewing because I liked it! My mom gave me the basics when I was growing up, and since then I've picked up lots from continual practice and experimenting :)

[@Ancantenna]

Finished the cape yesterday, thank you so much for this tutorial! I love the cape already. I omitted the pockets though because I'm lazy, but your method of doing them is so clever, I'll definitely remember that for the future! I might even add them to my cape at a later point. :)

[@charliesoutherton4249]

that pocket making method you did looked sooooo much easier than what my college taught me

[@kaylaexe.4302]

Me: *tries. Fails.BADLY* ME: *wraps a sheet around my shoulders and that's mah cape* aaaayyyye 😂

[@MsNinahhh]

You have fantastic craft! Your pieces look so professional, and so clean! I love it!

[@sarahmurphy190]

Never mind the cape, I wanna come on a road trip with you and your buddies xxxx I'll even sing along to Biedermeier 😂😍

[@cosmicanu]

Simplest pocket making I hv ever seen.. thankyou u r amazing

[@zheahra]

My fav style! Poncho and cape in one cool wrap YAY!

[@thealaskanbuddha]

I absolutely ❤ this. THANK YOU! I was going to order one from Ireland, but I wanted to make a heavier one out of blanket wool...now I'll just need to figure out how to add a hood?

[@joyfuldiysjoyfulday8955]

Thanks so much for showing me how to do pockets better 💕 I made a vest on my channel and some shorts and the pocket was so hard for me to try and figure out on my own lol

[@Sadsthil]

Wendy, I love it! You are such a clever bean. Those pockets look divine x

[@foreverbells]

Ooh, I love your pocket method!

[@spacksong]

This was a very simple and easy to follow set of instructions. Thank you..

[@spacksong]

Took some pics but don't see how to upload them

[@ethanethan8867]

Could you do a tutorial about lining bomber jackets? I don't know if I need to subtract any fabric or no. Tanks!

[@mamochan4]

Wendy! I'm so sorry I just found you!!! New subbie!!!!! Gonna rock a cape this winter, thanks to you!

[@anastasiakatsantoni7689]

I just found your channel and I completely fell in love with your creations. You are so talented 💗

[@jntshinga2164]

Loved the pockets will try...your very fast and talker I got left behind ....did u attach the scarf all the way to the hem?😁😍

[@vlogentive9823]

Hello, I just bumped into this video and I have to thank you for making such a great tutorial! Have a great day xx

[@sydneysmith6742]

i spent $8 on fabric for this it turned out great thanks!

[@carolekwok2593]

hi Wendy, love your style. plan to make it for the chill. Just a question that did I missed the bit about how big a piece of fabric is needed, the dimensions and how the original cape is cut through the fabric. Sorry, really new to sewing and would love to follow through and show you my results soon. Thx

[@withwendy]

+Carole Kwok 2 yards of the wool! There's a link in the description for the video to my blog where I list out the steps again from the video too :)

[@carolekwok2593]

Thanks so much. Found it. Gonna be my CNY holiday homework. Will show you after I finished. :)

[@lenasmiles]

Waah I love your diys!! you are honestly one of the many DIY people on youtube that I've been really looking for and you make things that really work for me and catch my interest in style and whatnot! Thank you so much for this channel and for sharing your work! Keep up the good work (:

[@hansakhan6319]

This is GORGEOUS!! This is definetley going to be something to make before I go to uni!! love your videos! xx

[@mspeach16able]

Love the DIY Cape video. I have a question. Can you use flannel? I purchased a very soft flannel from JoAnn's that I think is about 58 inches. Your DIY looks a lot simpler than the pattern I purchased.

[@vanillasadboi]

It depends how thick you want it. I'm sure it will look good in flannel.

[@raeveth]

Been thinking about making a cape for yearrrrs! Will definitely attempt. Bless you

[@hannahcawley6822]

Ahhhh I just stumbled across your channel, I don't know I've survived without it :D it's so amazing and I'm literally just binge watching then half crying because I won't be able to make any of le clothes but I looooOOOOOOOVe everything :)

[@cabbagelettuce3340]

[@peachisoro]

[@NellaAlexandra101]

[@LajjaGandhi]

[@dianafabiola6541]

[@grabiela.chairez]

[@LimitLaw]

Could u tell me which sewing machine you use? Or maybe a tour Vedic about ur tools?

[@emmajansson4288]

Hey Wendy! So, I live in Sweden and it´s already cold outside. I wanna make this ASAP, but do you think you can use like two layers of fleece to make it warmer? or something like that? Thank you gumman! You are lovely!

Love it! Were I can find fabric for cardigans and capes online? Thanks

[@bahirahmatheney9320]

Love this poncho, I wish you could give us measurements of the pieces that you cut so we have an idea on how much material to buy.

[@jacquelinegrohs2674]

There's a link to her blog with written out directions and dimensions. If you click "Show More" below the video, it's the first link under the title "See More On The Blog." I just started my cape last night. Good luck with your project!

[@hadeeladam636]

What kind of sewing machine do you use ? I love your work 🙂

[@ThePackQueen]

I cannot wait to make this! it is STUNNING! Thank you

[@Itsallaboutkirby]

This is gonna be my first project

[@robs6762]

I am so tempted to make this cape but I carry my backpack everywhere and this is probably not backpack-compatible, right? Thank you so much for your tutorials btw, they're inspiring!

[@mischa2643]

Rob S I was just thinking this. You could put cape over your backpack. People might think you're Quasimodo, but you could do it (;
