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!

[@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.

[@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]

[@gaIexy]

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

[@ducklin34719]

withwendy u

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@KatieNovaRose]

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

[@alexislane7175]

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

[@jellybeansbud3610]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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?

[@michelemcclarren]

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

[@bernadineschacht8175]

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

[@f.i3706]

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

[@Zoejo]

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

[@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.

[@sheilahrazzy]

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

[@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 😊

[@zheahra]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@charliesoutherton4249]

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

[@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

[@browneyedgurl494]

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

[@Mengjoanne]

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

[@cosmicanu]

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

[@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!

[@sanginikaul3035]

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

[@Aaarandom]

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

[@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 😂😍

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@amarene18]

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

[@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!

[@SamuraiMover]

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

[@foreverbells]

Ooh, I love your pocket method!

[@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

[@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.

[@dence5225]

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

[@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! 😊😊

[@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 :)

[@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"

[@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 ✨

[@stacyblack5982]

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

[@stacyblack5982]

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

[@raeveth]

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

[@MsNinahhh]

[@imightbe335]

[@athenasgrovetrims9999]

Chic, simple, adorable...what more could you want?!?!?!

[@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

[@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?

[@BratBustersParenting]

Well done. Beautiful cape.

[@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!

[@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.

[@siren858]

[@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 ☺

[@yaysadie]

[@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. :)

[@jntshinga2164]

[@zizavancouver9291]

I wish I had a half of your talent

[@vidaholmes7366]

The best I've ever seen. Thanks

[@MsEri17]

Thank you! I love your tutorials, Wendy, because they're things I would actually sew and wear! You're so fashionable :D

[@LimitLaw]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@ProsperousKei]
