sewing pvc

My first project was an old pvc cape (PUL-Enclosed Cape).

Let's see some photos of the cape. =)

You can also wear it back-to-front, so the face is completely encased in PVC, or wear two capes - one back-to-front, another one normally. Breathing holes might be needed, though.

For a start, here is the cape in the original shape:

There is some work to be done on the shoulders. But  my experience with sewing is very limited, so I will do that later.

In the meantime, I found out, that the lower part can't be any tighter, because I wouldn't be able to put the cape on then.

I want to make a separate hood, that can be worn underneath the original one. And it will cover most of my face while still allowing me to breathe. Or, instead, just a piece, that can be attached inside the hood. After sewing, I cut off two large triangles from the cape, which will provide the material for this. I only need to get the right idea...

Thanks for the pics, I was trying to picture what you were talking about and I was completely off so it wasn't making sense. It's all clear now =) Nice job, it kind of seems like you're ultimate goal is very close to a hooded pvc sleep sack so why not just get one of those?

Don't underestimate the fun of making it yourself.

That's the other reason. I actually wanted a narrow cape, and I like rope bondage, which sometimes requires a door handle to get free - which can only be done once in the same sleeping bag.

Apart from that, I could have bought a sleeping bag and cut off the lower end. But DIY is fun for me and saves a lot of money. A cape costs a fraction of a pvc sleeping bag.

Nice!!! Looks verrry interesting!!!

I should add another reason for the cape instead of a sleeping bag: It preserves some mobility and even allows me to use the toilet without taking it off. After all, the cape is intended to be casual wear for watching TV, sitting around or even sleeping. And an interesting option comes to my mind now: I could actually take a walk in public, if I wear a wider cape on top of it. Not sure, if I will ever do it, but it is a tempting idea.
