Hi creative folk! I’m going to attempt to make a version of the Rat & Boa Josephine cape. https://www.ratandboa.com/products/josephine-cape?ft-nostoSearchEnabled=true&mrasn=1647386.2056487.dpaqb56O

I am a crafty person, but I’ve never tried sewing/beading onto tulle, which the base of the cape seems to be made of. Any advice anyone has about how to approach this project would be much appreciated, particularly around how to avoid the beaded fringe from ripping the tulle when worn. I’m considering trying to buy a pre-made capelet, then doing the beading with fringe I make or pre-made beaded fringe.

I’m based in London, so any local tips would also be welcome (helpful craft groups, places to source materials).

Thanks so much! ✨
