How I made my Witch cape in less than an hour
So, it's Halloween fever and parties are in every corner. What else would be in our minds when this season comes? Of course, those scary stories, bloody and cold bodies and gross costumes. Well, this year I joined a Halloween Party for the very first time and made my own Witch Cape.
There's no other simple attire or shall I say costume than the Witch so I decided to be wearing one. I was able to buy the witch hat and the fake nails. I don't have a broom though, I don't kinda like the thought of holding one. I looked on the prices of those capes and they were all expensive so I thought I can make one, I thought it was easy. I bought a four meter black cloth, two meters for me and for James.
I was not surprised, it was really easy indeed. I'll gonna show you how I made it in just an hour.
First, I prepared the things needed:
a pair of scissors
thread and needle
and of course the cloth
I also had used a chalk and a ruler in measuring the hood for the cape. So everything is all set up now
Step 1: Using the ruler and the chalk, I started it with measuring a 30"x15 rectangle out of the cloth which was laid on the floor. Cut it out and this is the cloth for the hood.
Step 2: I hemmed the edges of the hood, the photo above shows a hemmed hood already. The rest of the cloth was set for the cape, I want it to be longer so I did not measure it anymore, anyways, it was two meters long.
I am not a pro in stitching... lol, look at my running stitch...
Step 3: I loosely straight stitched the about 1/2" from top edge of the cloth for the cape, this was the easiest part though. After which I scrunched the cloth by holding the end thread while evenly gathering the cloth along the thread until the edge of the cape is the same length as the hood.
Step 4: I placed the cloth as is and the hood on top in a position where the hemmed edges are shown, I then stitched them together, take note, I only used the Running Stitch the whole time.
almost done! this was the tiring part
Step 5: Once done with stitching the hood and the cape together, in the same position, I folder the two edges of the hood and stitched it along the new fold part.
Step 6: I stitched a ribbon-like cut cloth or rectangle cut for the cape ties. One in the right side and on the left inside the edge of the cape.
Wear it and tie it around the neck...here I am with the cape:
weeeeeh !! I loved it.!!

My First Halloween Party
I was never been to any Halloween Party before, not in my 22 years of existence, this is because I don't like to be buying and wearing those gross costumes and that it is not really a very important occasion for me. But then when PlanetBiz decided to put up one, I never hesitated to come.
We were informed a week about it and I was super excited on what to wear. James and I went to Metro Gaisano and Gaisano Capital for our costumes. I bought a Witch' hat, fake nails and an orange Treat Basket. James on the other hand bought an LED flash light Evil Horn, fake nails as well and a small Devil's fork. We had paid a total of Php 190+ for those stuffs, pretty cheap right? We then bought a black cloth for our capes. I personally sew both mine and James', check out how I made it in my "How I Made my Witch Cape in Less than an Hour" post.

together with the devils...
October 30, 2010 - marks our Halloween Party at Mango Square Mall. Our PlanetBiz' Co-members were there as well as the Founder and the Owner, Mr. Noel Velasquez and his wife, who joined our dancing and singing sessions while there. It started at almost eight in the evening. We had picture takings and games.
There was a "Chocolate Fountain" prepared by Mr. Paulito Corposales with matching marsh mallows. It was my first to see a chocolate fountain personally, it was fun and yummy and a bit expensive. The chocolate pack is worth Php 400+ which is good for one round of a few people maybe 30-40 heads. The fountain itself was owned by Pau, he said it was worth Php3000 when he purchased it.
We ended it at almost 12midnight, we planned to go to Cabanas and continue the fun unfortunately, James and I didn't come along because we had to wake up early the next day to catch the earliest trip of a fast craft to Bohol.
It was such a funny yet memorable event. I'll be looking forward for a better costume in the Halloween Party 2011 at PlanetBiz!
