blazer cape diy

This DIY is a litte more advanced than ones we

have shared in the past, but for any sewers out there (or friends

of sewers ) we wanted to share this how-to for one

of our favorite new trends; the blazer cape.

There are several different patterns for the
blazer cape, but we decided to go with a more structured
pattern!

You will need:

Blazer

scissors

sewing maching

thread

seam ripper

how to:

1. lay out your blazer onto a surface, arms out.

2. take your seam ripper and begin to cut the in-seam 

of both arms of the blazer. 

3. then, turn you blazer around.

4. find the outside panels of the pattern of your

chosen blazer.

5.  For our pattern, we

removed the outside panels on the back of the blazer,
and reattached the arms to the back.

What you basically will do, is match the seam of your

arm, to the new seam on the back of the blazer.
6. Repeat to other side
7. clean up any rough edges by
 zig zag sewing any rugged seams

Happy DIY-ing!
