The Rebecca Page Sweater Cape

I finally made the move! We moved over Thanksgiving weekend and I was just… well, thankful. I really do love it here.

Moves are a big deal, the packing is a pain, but the true whirlwind comes with unpacking. We still don’t have all our storage solutions sorted, and things are just… a bit manic. The good thing about moving when we did is I would have been switching to my fall/winter wardrobe anyway. I would say 90% of my wardrobe is year-round, but there are some pieces that just work best in one season or the other. One of those is the Rebecca Page Sweater Cape.* When I pulled this one out of its box I was ecstatic- another benefit of seasonally switching your wardrobe is that it always feels like you have new clothes.

This is 100% one of those colder weather pieces. It literally feels like you’re wrapping yourself up in a massive blanket. It’s comfy, cosy, and best of all requires absolutely no hemming.

Like none.

Full disclosure, I was a tester on the curvy sizing of this pattern. I wasn’t 100% sold on this one because I was worried about the higher neck, but the way it drapes actually looks incredibly elegant and it’s quite warm. An allover win really.

The instructions, like all Rebecca Page instructions, are excellent and super clear. I sewed up an 8C but used the length of the 15C because I’m very tall. The bottom of the cape and the sleeves are finished with a band, so there’s no hemming. This one was super quick, incredibly easy, and would be perfect for a beginner, or someone new to sewing knits. I made mine in an organic cotton jersey.

My favourite way to wear it is belted around just the front.

Honestly, I could gush about this for ages because… well, it’s no hemming and it feels like you’re wearing a blanket. Truly, what more could you want?

I’ve also made a video about this pattern featuring the kind of wieldy way of putting it on. What can I say, it’s a lot of fabric!
