#twisCape : Inexpensive No-sew Womenswear From Men's Shirts DIY
Many Greetings and Welcome to twisCape DIY.
The name 'twisCape' means - a cape that's characterised by twisting :D
You need
- 2 same size full sleeve Men's shirts of your choice.
- Mannequin (optional but recommended)
I reused the shirts from charity shops / unclaimed giveaway from dry-cleaning shops.
In this DIY, you can learn to make this cape that is :
- No-sew
- No-cut
- hence, completely re-usable
- ready in a few minutes.
- Skill level - Beginner / enthusiast
