 HOW TO MAKE COATS

Short Cape: In cutting a short cape such as shown in Fig..82, make the lining a trifle smaller than the outside. Then the lining can be stitched to the outside, holding it to the exact shape of the outside. When finished the outside will roll over the edges of the lining and hide it. If the lining were large or even the same size it would sag below the cape and show.

Of course, if you prefer, you can tape the edges of the cape, rolling a seam’s width of the goods onto the tape and catching it in place. Then turn under the raw edges of the lining and fell it in place.

Line the collar, sew it to the outer cape at the neck and fell the lining over the raw edges.

Long Cape: Fig. 83 shows a long cape made out of a straight piece of material [71]
