I found a way to join two winter trends: the cape coat and the dogtooth pattern. I found this grey and black dogtooth fabric and I decided to give it some character adding a few torquoise accents. As you can see intricate patterns often look good with bright colors. If you like this cape you can download the pattern, I digitalized the one I made especially for you. Believe it or not you'll only need to sew the shoulders.

Ho trovato un modo di coniugare due trend invernali: la mantella e il pied de poule. Per realizzare questa mantella ho utilizzato una stoffa grigia e nera e ho deciso di sottolineare alcuni dettagli con del pannolence turchese. Come potete notare le stampe vengono spesso valorizzate dall'accostamento con i colori vivaci. Ho digitalizzato per voi il modello che ho realizzato e potrete salvarlo sul vostro computer.

Download the cape coat free pattern and print it

The pattern is one half of the cape.
Fold the fabric in half and pin the pattern on.

Il modello riproduce metà della mantella

  7. Ciao Vale,
    sono contenta che la collana ti sia piaciuta!
    La mantella va bene per la maggiorparte delle taglie,ti serviranno 2,5 metri di stoffa. Piegala per la lunghezza.
    Siccome ho ricevuto molte domande, a breve posterò altri dettagli su come rifinire la mantella, spero ti possano essere utili! :)

  15. What size yardage do you need for this? I am in love and I know that I have a few cuts that are a yard and a half and I wanted to check before I get all ready to cut and can't find a fabric to make it with in my stash.
