HotPatterns & fabric.com exclusive free download holiday heroine cape tank instructions page 1 of 3 SUGGESTED FABRIC CUTTING LAYOUT FOR THE TOP lay fabric out flat for this layout
SEAM ALLOWANCES & OTHER INFO Seam allowances on this style are 3/8" BUT please read the note in the TEST YOUR KNIT box below BEFORE you cut your top out. Skills needed include: making & applying a sleeve & neckline binding; making & applying a double-thickness knit waistband. Unless otherwise stated, all seams are sewn right sides together. ABOUT THIS STYLE This style has a semi-fitted silhouette, with a gently stretched waistband and cape overlay which is attached through the neckline; the top is sleeveless, and the hems and neckline are finished with self fabric binding. We recommend that you make & fit a test garment before you cut into your fabric... use an inexpensive or scrap knit with the same or a similar drape to your 'real deal' fabric.
TEST YOUR KNIT! BEFORE you cut your top out, please test your knit fabric. Cut a test strip, using the sleeve binding pattern piece. FABRIC & NOTIONS REQUIRED
Fold it in half lengthways, and gently stretch it. If the strip curls in on itself along the raw edges, you will need to do the following:
All sizes need 2 and 3/8 yard/ 218 cm of 60"/150cm wide knit fabric...and that's all!
On the neckline and armhole edges ONLY, add an extra 5/8" or 1.5cm to the depth of the (3/8" or 1cm deep) seam allowances. Add the same to each long edge of the neck & armhole bindings. This means that you'll be using a 1" or 2.5cm deep seam allowance around the neckline & armholes, which may sound crazy but trust us when we say it will be a whole lot easier to do this, then trim off the excess seam allowances, than battle away trying to attach the bindings as they are.
1
Prepare your binding...press the neckline and sleeve bindings in half lengthways, and LIGHTLY press flat.
3/8" or 1cm 1/2" or 1.25 cm
2
Work a narrow hem around the front and bottom edges of the cape...or leave the edges raw, they won't fray!

Join the armhole binding to the cut edges of the armholes ...you'll find that the binding will gather up the armhole edges ever so slightly, which is exactly what should happen!
