Easy witch cape for beginner sewists
Updated November 08, 2019 
"You cannot get a handmade costume much easier than this! Turn a rectangle of fabric into a simple witch cape, perfect for Halloween! This project is wonderful for beginner sewists and only takes around 1 hour to sew! Hem the sides of a black rectangle and sew an easy casing onto one long side. Sew "patches" of colorful scrap fabric onto the cape to give it a faux-tattered look. String a ribbon into the casing and you're ready to gather the edge and fasten it around your neck!"
