| Free 1910s Cape Pattern – click here! |
Hi! If you’ve been following us on Instagram you may have seen the explosion of capes. We’ve released a free PDF gridded pattern for a fabulous 1910s cape. It’s very easy to make and is a quick weekend project.
Update for 2021 – We have discontinued our Patreon, so the free cape pattern is now hosted for download on AmericanDuchess.com.

| The pattern is based on this original 1910s cape. Appears to have been sold by Martini Consignment. |
We hope you enjoy the cape pattern! We’d love to see your makes too – tag us @americanduchess on Instagram or Facebook and use the hashtag #ADCapeCult .

September 23, 2020 at 4:12 PMHi, am I just too dumb to get it, or do the shoulder seam markings not line up? Also the shoulder seam on the back piece is shorter than on the front wrap piece.

March 10, 2021 at 6:58 PMI have the same problem. It seems if you print the guide and cut the pieces out of the paper, they line up exactly. But the grid size is different on the page with the sleeve, so if you go by the grid to measure it out on the fabric, the sleeve will come out too large compared to the other parts. Or maybe we're both doing it wrong? 😛

February 3, 2021 at 6:30 PMApologies as am coming to this endeavour late; is it possible to find the pattern somewhere? The links lead to frustratingly blank pages.

August 2, 2021 at 3:53 PMHi, I’m a beginner at sewing, so apologies if this is obvious! How do I print out the pattern? It doesn’t seem to be divided into pieces that would fit on an A4 paper.
Thanks!

February 9, 2021 at 6:16 PMapologies – I have made the folder publicly accessible, which may have been the problem. Hopefully that fixed it.

April 11, 2021 at 9:23 AMHi there, Recently, I came across this pattern and I loved it. However, I am having the same problem with this pdf. Is there a step I am missing to make this an adult pattern? Please help. Thanks
