Pleo cape pattern
InmemoryofRomeo:
This is the pattern for a cape roughly the same as the Pleo world one, I can only guess though since I don't own one :P
Attached is the pattern I used and here are a couple of pics, the first is the pattern, please forgive its scrappy appearance, I did a lot of changes on the fly :P Second pic is Lilo wearing the cape, the underside of the tail should be sewn together really, I just have it held with a pin in the pic though, DO NOT SEW UP THE NECK lol you won't be able to get the cape on if you do that, I have a small bit of velcro to hold the neck closed :)
Please note, I have not allowed for seams, if you wish to add a seam be sure to allow an extra centimeter or so on the pattern. I used a soft felt which does not fray for my test piece.

Thanks so much for this, I will give it a go. I was thinking that felt would be a good material so good to have that confirmed. Now to find some time to go shopping! ;D

thanks IMR, that is one thing I have lots and I mean a lot of is Felt and also lots of material, I went crazy about two years ago, ( long before I had Nova or even knew what a Pleo was :o) and I must have purchased over $300.00 worth of material, buttons and such as the store was going out of business and material was at least 75% off. I have had felt around for years being a ex preschool teacher, I allways used felt for Storyboard stories and loved making them . Looks like my Pleos are going to get some exotic " capes" out of some interesting material, I tryed making a nice camo one out of flannel before Halloween, but never got any farther then pinning it. ;D
Now with your pattern, I know I was on the right track and think I will spend some time tonight while it is raining Pleos outside, ( ;D :D) sewing for Pleos inside! Thanks for the photos, Lilo looks very comfy and warm too! Thumbs up for providing us with some more diversion while we all wait for........... %)hmmm, forgot what it was we are waiting for?
