Little Red Riding Hood

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Costume Box: Dress-Up for Holiday and Every Day »

Instructions

This is one of the sample capes I made for The Costume Box Course. It's easier and faster to make like this without the satin.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Costume

For: Children

Style: Romantic, Whimsical, Cute, Outdoorsy, Holiday


Materials

Quilter's cotton, thread, The Costume Box

What was your inspiration?

The collection of course cotumes started with sorcerers, kings and fairies - but this simple cape can be adapted to so many things. I made this sweet cotton version and insantly thought of Little Red Riding Hood. My model was so inspired, she changed her mind about what she wanted to be for Halloween and her mama is out searching for the perfect basket.

What are you most proud of?

I love costumes that can be done easily with NO PATTERN, like this one.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Dive in - take the course. There are so many wonderful and easy things you can do to make beautiful costumes!

too cute. That's the great thing about sewing your own costume. (or anything) It can be any color you want it to be!! Express yourself!! Kids are never confined to tradition. I love that you made it a different color. An updated 21st century Little Red (or pink) Riding Hood. very cool

but if your little red riding hood loves pink you make it pink or what ever.

I thought that Little Red Ridding Hood's Cape, as he name suggests, was supposed to red, not pink (or at least I think it looks pink, and spotted.
