Oh my goodness, this was a quick and easy make! It's the Skye Wrap from Cool Crafting, and I first came upon it on Cheryl from Stitchy Bee's vlog when she made it last year.
It's basically a rectangle, and one side is sewn closed with some buttons. It is also fully lined.
My fabric is some wool from Sew Over It which I used to make the Sew Over It Tulip skirt here. I got it ages ago, so I don't suppose it's available any more. My lining is some lilac polyester from my stash, and I have no idea where I got it. The buttons are 40mm coconut buttons from Totally Buttons.
I think the thing that took the longest with this was measuring out the fabric to cut it out, and who doesn't love a project like that?!
I blinking love this, especially how the neckline folds back on itself. And I'm very much enjoying swanning around in it pretending that I'm Margaret Rutherford; but in fairness, nobody could rock a cape quite like her!
I'm now very taken with this Traveller Cape from Twig and Tale, so am on the lookout for some fabric for it.
Have a great weekend, and I hope it's filled with sewing!

Hurray for simple, quick projects! The colours are great on you Lynne, and I'd definitely be enjoying swanning around in it too!
