Baby Dragon Cape

Step 7 Sew it all together!

Pin the hood to the cape, aligning the edges and lining the backseams up (thats the most important in my opinion.) Sew it all together along the neck seam, and sew the lining in the same manner.

Now, with right sides together, pin the lining to the outer layer, and sew it all around the edges, leaving a space unsewn for turning. Trim the seam allowance to a scant half inch, and trim all corners.

Turn right side out, press. Topstitch all around the cape, taking care to stitch up the hole you left for turning. Topstitch a line on each side of the center seam.

Now make the button tab for the front closure:

Take a strip of outer material about 9" long and fuse interfacing to it. Fold it in half lengthwise and stitch along the long side making a long tube. Turn right side out and press.

Fold it in half as in the 4th picture. Press it flat, making a tab with an arrow point at the end. Stitch across one end, and to keep the arrow point stitch a rectangle as shown in the picture.

Now find a big button and sew the tab onto the one side of the front of the cape, and a button on the corresponding area.

Fray check all seams and trim all the threads hanging off.
