Apologies for slightly blurry photos… Using my front camera on my phone is a bit blurry, oh well!
This latest make is the Milano cape by Papercut Patterns. It’s only availble as a paper pattern, unfortunately. The pattern is in 3 sizes, and the main difference between sizes is the length. I cut the smallest size.
The fabric is some wool coat fabric I bought years ago in Melbourne. It’s quite thick, and has a nice heft and warmth to it.
However, as shown, it also picks up every particle of white dust in the vicinity. Hopefully as the fabric wears and smooths out that will happen less? A bit doubtful. 
This pattern features a lovely Peter Pan collar with no undercollar. It got a bit cumbersome and thick sewing the collar area on my little machine!
This pattern also has single welt pockets. These are a bit scary to do, and were kind of hard to place evenly. I also found that the welt pattern pieces were not the same length as the mark on the front pieces. They were significantly different, not just a little, and it took a lot of checking and measuring to get it right myself. 
The pocket bags are some other wool suiting I had, and to prevent it from fraying I used a fusible hemming tape to glue some bias binding over the raw edges. I could have just finished the edges before sewing them on but I didn’t think of it at the time!
Who knows if I’ll wear this really. I’m not a cape kind of person, yet. I’d like to be one of those women who just swoosh around in a cape and look so cool, but so far I’m not quite convinced!
It is very swishy, though 🙂
