I recommend figuring out how much fabric you'll need for the capelet (based on where you want it to hit on your arms/chest), then measuring the length from where the end of your capelet will be to where you want the bottom of the cloak will be. Add a little bit of length (remember, too much fabric is an easier problem to solve than not enough!), and use that to determine how much fabric you need. Depending on your measurements, you might be ok with 2.5 or even 2.25 yards, but I wouldn't want to go too much less than that.Sarah Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144840925170769765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336480024326420194.post-91019201272301944612021-08-10T11:08:17.899-04:002021-08-10T11:08:17.899-04:00Hi!

That said, if you want to try making it in velvet, go ahead! Just keep in mind that it'll probably be heavier than mine and it might involve more hemming.Sarah Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377945004067760298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336480024326420194.post-34426550199185317452018-08-06T14:35:13.220-04:002018-08-06T14:35:13.220-04:00You're welcome!
