Create a medieval cape or Renaissance cloak for 11 to 12 inch fashion dolls with today’s free pattern #Renfaire #DollClothes

Scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.

Of course I’ve posted this medieval cape or Renaissance cloak pattern on my website before, but as I’ve mentioned in some of my other blog posts, I’m taking the time to remaster some of my older tutorials that don’t have voiceover; by doing so, Google Translate will be able to offer transcriptions in foreign languages, and also for those who are visually impaired, it will be easier to follow my directions for making these doll clothes.

Today’s cape or cloak project will fit a number of fashion dolls in the 11-inch to 12-inch size range, including Barbie, Ken, Momoko, Sindy, and many more. Scroll down to the second set of bullets to see the long list of dolls that can wear this medieval cloak or Renaissance cape.

On a blue linen background, photos of both Ken and Barbie, wearing a medieval cloak or Renaissance cape with a hood are stacked one on top of the other, sort of like cards. The photos show the dolls front and back, with the cape's hood draping in a style reminiscent of a bygone era. The cape or cloak is fastened at the neck with a toggle clasp. Barbie's cape has lace around the neckline inside the cape. Ken's cloak uses bias tape at the neckline and has embroidered stitches around the hood and at the bottom of his cape or cloak. Ken's cape is made of brown flannel with a brown floral cotton lining. Barbie's cloak is made of grey flannel with a white cotton/polyester blend lining. Ken wears a pirate like outfit under his cape. Ken wears felt handmade boots as well. Barbie wears a long burgundy colored dress with puff sleeves under her cape. The text in one corner of the image reads: "Please visit my YouTube Channel, Chelly Wood one, for the tutorial video that accompanies this pattern.

My cape with a hood uses solid-colored grey flannel fabric on the outside (for that fuzzy look that keeps my doll looking all cozy-warm) and plain white cotton fabric for the lining.

I used a little lace trim around the collar of my medieval cloak, and this link will take you to a toggle clasp like the one I used.

Sindy dolls were originally created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys, but they have been made by other manufacturers including Hasbro, Vivid Imaginations, and New Moon. Currently (at the time of this blog post) a limited number of the newest version of these dolls is being manufactured by Kid Kreations of Staffordshire, England. I haven’t tried my doll clothes on this newer version, but sewists have told me my Tammy doll patterns do fit the vintage Sindy dolls created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys. Please visit one of these toy companies’ websites to learn more about the toys they produce. The Sindy dolls are trademarked and as such, it should be noted that Chelly Wood and ChellyWood.com are not affiliated with either Pedigree or Kid Creations.  However Chelly has enjoyed designing doll clothes that will fit these dolls along with others in a similar size range…
