Step 7Sew the panels together.
Use any old seam allowance... 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 5/8 inch - whatever you like!
Make sure that the right sides (the ones without marks) are together when sewing. This way, when you open the cape out, the marked side will be against your back. :)
I didn't bother pinning mine because the felt stick together pretty well.
One helpful thing to note - this is where the longer side panels come into play. When you line up the side panel with the middle panel, you'll want the top side panel to come up a little higher than the middle panel. (See picture for help.) This will help keep things lined up.
And make sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of your stitching!
When you're done sewing the panels together, fold the cape in half and cut a curve in the bottom if you wish, and trim up the top so all the panels are even! You might also want to use pinking shears to get a nice seam finish.
