If you have any pattern matching or need more length to your cape,  then buy extra fabric. I added 3” to the pattern’s hemline.

 Regular thread for sewing. The seams are serged.  Basic colors available but provide your own custom colors.

3 buttons …mine are 1 and ¼”

Stitch Witchery’ Fusible webbing - narrow strip type.  You just need about a 12 inch long strip. 

2 yds of 24” pre-shrunk interfacing (Armo Weft or Fusible Knit) appropriate for your fashion fabric.

If you have decided to bind the cape and the belt you will need 10 and ½ yds of binding/trim of your choice.

It is helpful for you to consider whether you want to put a binding or a trim on your cape.  With a binding the center facing is sewn to the cape wrong sides together, and then the binding finishes the edge.  If you are using a trim, then the facing is sewn with right sides together, and the trim is applied along the edge of the finished seams.  So it is helpful to decide if you will bind or trim your cape.  In the photo of Jane's black and white London Cape, she applied binding to the edges.  Jane will be happy to talk to you about this decision.
