Step 3Make a pattern!
I sketched the initial pattern at work, and it was pretty awful. It did produce an amazing cape, however. I've included a picture of it because the scanner isn't working right now. :)
Once you have the shoulder measurements and length figured out, it's a cake walk of victory from that point on. As long as you get the basic shapes down, you'll be fine.
The middle piece (the primary color) will probably be the full width of the fabric at the bottom and taper when it gets closer to the top. You'll add the side panels to complete the full width of the shoulders.
The side panels should be cut a couple of inches longer than the length of the middle piece. They will be rectangular.
The measurements of my cape were as follows:
Middle piece = middle piece is 36 inches at bottom, 20 at the top. 50 inches long.
Side panels = 10 inches wide, 54ish inches long.
