The Handmaid's Tale

I have not seen this show.  I hope to, someday.  The costume pictures and descriptions are everywhere, though, so when a friend asked me to make her a red cape, of course I was up to the job.
I found a freebie cape pattern online, and we picked up some red gabardine from fabric.com, and that was that.

Here are the cut pieces.

Then I sewed the sides to the back.

Finished the edges by just turning and sewing down, and sewing a large hook and eye to the neckline.

And then she tried it on, with the bonnet that she picked up.  I did fix the shoulders later, and open up side slits for her arms to come through (marked by the safety pin).  I'll try to get more pictures later and post them, but here it is.   Really easy job, and she looks good!
