You'll need to make a tube at the top of the cape.

Fold over a couple inches at the top (on the wrong side of the fabric.) and pin near the fold. You'll want to sew about 1/2 inch away from the end of the fold, if that makes sense.

Also keep in mind that it's easier to sew over the other seams if you open them. :)

Once you have the tube at the top, take your spool of ribbon and insert a safety pin into the end. Thread the safety pin (it must be closed!) through the tube by scrunching the fabric down over the safety pin and then pulling it through bit by bit.

When it's through the other end, keep pulling until you reach the appropriate length. Then you can cut the end with the spool to the right length.

Now you can frolic outside in your cape if you wish, or you can add a name of symbols to the back of it.
