Main Fabric - Your cape fabric needs to be stretch/knit fabric. It can be any weight; however, best results and fit will be achieved with a medium or light weight fabric. You can use a 2 or 4-way stretch. A lighter weight fabric will drape more than a heavier weight. Great examples are textured knit, sweater knits, medium weight jersey, viscose, ponte, scuba, stretch velour, and stretch French Terry. TIP - If you are using a textured knit, especially a cable knit, they may seem smaller in width. Let it hang, then steam it and let it cool before cutting. This should help it expand to its full width. *Do not use a woven fabric.
