Digital Pattern + Video Class Overland Cloak Sewing Pattern - Adult

Haven’t made it yet . On the hunt for the right material!

This is a great pattern that fits well. The print files were easy to use. The instructions were clear and simple to follow. The instructional video that is included in the download was very helpful. I went back to reference it several times while sewing the cloak. It is size 4 with the round hood option. I made this for my brother, who was my Secret Santa giftee. As you can see he is a big fan of Lord of the Rings. I used a set of IKEA Rosenmandel curtains, which have a plastic lining so the cloak is water resistant. The Tree of Gondor pattern on the lining was done with a stencil and dry brushed fabric paint. (The lining is a few inches short because I did not have enough fabric, not a problem with the pattern.) The embroidery is self drafted and done by hand with glow in the dark thread. The Elven script along the front is a translation of the lyrics to Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley, because I couldn't miss the opportunity to rick roll him in our ongoing 15 year rick roll battle.

This is a beautiful pattern but it definitely stretched me! The construction of the cloak was nothing complex and the instructions were beautifully written (as usual) but I’m so thankful this wasn’t the first project I cut out using my projector! It’s a lot of material and the pieces were long so I had to be extra careful cutting it all out. Plan to go slow and enjoy the process, the end product is worth it but I wouldn’t recommend this for your first project.

If I could give this pattern 6 starts out of 5, I would. Easy to work out sizing which fits well, excellent projector features, and elegant and enchanting to wear. I made mine to wear to a black tie wedding and it was much needed warmth on a rainy evening.

I was so impressed with this - it's not the fastest sew (lots of long seams, and then again on the lining) but wow, it's such a nice finished piece! Also a beautiful pattern to show off some really special buttons if you've got them.

Hands down one of the bigger projects I have ever tackled and thanks to the perfect instructions, amazing videos and super easy to follow steps I pulled it off for my husbands birthday. He loves it and I'm pretty impressed I a actually made one that looks amazing. Thanks TT XXX

When the Overland Cloak released I immediately began thinking about how I could justify making one, since it has such an amazing silhouette. It just seemed unessential, and I have so many essential items on my sewing list already. I got the perfect excuse when my son asked to go as Frodo for character day at school. Frodo clearly needs his Elven cloak and the Overland Cloak is the perfect pattern.

The overland cloak, for me, was a more challenging make. You don't whip it up in a weekend. I felt like it was definitely an intermediate pattern. Every step is well outlined and I think the photos and descriptions which say what NOT to do are really a fantastic addition! It shows that a lot of thought went into what could possibly go wrong. The reason that I feel the pattern is for an intermediate sewist is because of the size of the pattern pieces (particularly for the midi length cloak) and the attaching of the lining into the cloak. When it all comes together right, it is a magical moment. But getting to that point is not quick! In the end, the work was totally worth it, and not only did it make Jack an amazing Frodo, but also I have happily worn it myself quite a few times.

If you want to sew something more than “just clothes” then join me on a magical adventure with this stunning pattern! It has pizzazz! it has joy! it has versatility! it has romance! It has a brilliantly thought out tutorial that will leave even a beginner sewist leaping for joy!

My dear tiny humans giggle hysterically as we spin and swirl together, my cloak swishing magically around us and I feel an immense sense of pride, I’ve sewn joy.
What a pattern 🤍✨👌🏻

I'm obsessed with my cloak. I enjoyed every step of the sewing process with instructions really easy to understand and follow even for a non english speaker.
I'm really proud and happy to have this magical cloak in my wardrobe.

I loved sewing this and love the result even more. Like a good twirly cape, it does take a fair bit of fabric and the pattern is definitely worth taking your time with! Highly recommend!
