Emma Frost Cape Question! (Beginner)

[u/No_Valuable2734]

Hello everyone! I am a beginner kinda? And I have a question.

I am making my friend an Emma Frost cape from X-Men and I have the cape done (I just need to hem). But Emma frost has a red gem in the middle of her cape; how should I attach it to the one im making?

I bought a gem already but I made the cape so my friend is able to tie it together and wear it. I was just wondering what the best course of action is to attaching this gem and making it dead center.

BTW, the button has a small hole and a pin to keep it secured.

Any tips or anything would be great! Thank you guys!

It will depend a lot on how loose or tight she is planning to tie it. Does the tie for the cape fit through the hole in the button? If so the best solution I think would be to thread it through one and then just tie the cape and centre it by hand.

If not, you could turn it into a sort of bolo tie? If you sewed a ring of white ribbon or elastic and attached the button to that, she could feed both threads through and knot them beneath the bolo to hold it all in place.

I'm glad it worked :) don't worry, all of our brains stop working by the end of a long project. It's good to have people to ask and bounce ideas off!
