Our coy heroine wears a gingham party dress beneath her red corduroy cloak, which happens to be pretty enough to wear year-round as a dressy wrap.

Snug in his warm fleece bunting, the wolf is not very big or bad at all. His ears are made of two layers of felt, cut and glued together before being stitched to the hood. His tummy patch is a felt oval affixed with fabric glue.

Cape How-To
This cape should fall just below the hip. You will need red pinwale corduroy, red cotton broadcloth for lining, and 1 yard red double-fold bias tape. Make the cape according to the basic directions.

1. Make the hood: Cut a rectangle 25 inches long and at least 11 inches wide from both corduroy and lining remnants. Fold each in half crosswise as shown, and stack. Mark a point 10 inches from the left along the fold, and one 6 inches from the left along the bottom; draw a line from the top point to the bottom one. Pin layers together, and cut along the line (discard the remnant to the right).

2. Unfold and stack so that right sides are facing; pin in place. Stitch together along the long straight edge. Turn inside out so that wrong sides are facing and seam is concealed.

3. Fold in half end to end with the lining facing out; stitch along the angled edge as shown.

4. Turn hood corduroy side out and open. Align the bottom edge of the hood with the neckline of the cape as shown, corduroy sides facing; pin, and baste in place. Center the strip of double-fold bias tape on the neck, and fold it over raw edges; pin, and sew it in place.
