Hello, I'm looking for help/advice on how to make my first cape. My project is to recreate a cape I saw in an anime (images attached). I tried to include as many angles as possible. After doing some research, I'm not sure whether it should be a full circle, 3/4 circle, or semicircle cape. I would really appreciate any advice, since this is my first sewing project and I really want to get it right. Thank you very much! (Sorry if my English isn't perfect, I'm using a translator.)

Also, if anyone knows of an Etsy shop that can recreate this for a man please lmk

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! ✨

i’ll give examples below but i kinda want one
