    Default Need help locating a pattern

    I need some help in locating a pattern.  I need one for a shawl/cape for a 6-7 year old girl.  I want to do it in Faux Fur (a creamy white) with a Satin lining.  I will also need someone to tell me how to sew the lining in it once I find it.

    Thanks

    I just make a simple cape and sew the lining to the edges, turn right side out and whip stitch a small opening , closed.

    I've not made one from fake fur, but made a few from velvet with lame' linings.

    Just a little tip when working with faux fur- when pinning in your lining - right sides together, try to brush all of the "pile" the fur hairs in one direction AWAY from the seam - it will be much prettier when turned out , you won't have the zig zag prominent seam I saw so much in the stores a few years back when everyone was making the faux fur coats!!
    I 'm sure your neice's cape will turn out beautifully!!
