Celtic Hooded Fleece Cape – An Original Design

I hope this project inspires you to get creative with fleece!  It was a collaboration with Mum. (Click on photos to see tips in captions.)

Detailed stitching on the hood

Detailed stitching down the front, Celtic clasp, and large buttons. We used fusible interfacing down the front to keep it from stretching.

The loop closures are braided cord.

The back of the loop closure is reinforced with a piece of fleece. I sewed through all 3 layers.
