I made the longest version with a rounded hood, a hanging hook inside, 2 fasteners in the front, and I even added patch pockets to the lining inside. From the cutting of fabric to the completion of the project took 8 hours in total. It is going to be a Christmas present for my sister and I can’t wait to make one for myself! I highly recommend this patern!
As a novice sewist I had some worries of creating exciting Christmas gifts. Not any more! How easy this was and it looks store-bought, only better!
Thank you, thank you T&T for making me look so good.
So excited when my new cape I have a feeling I’ll be making more of them
I have recently re fallen in love with this pattern and added the mini cape to my autumn wardrobe.
It is wonderful how you can come back to it and see new possibilities.
This pattern is the perfect blank canvas for your imagination.
Quick to make, it has wonderful clear instructions. A perfect beginner's make
This pattern was lovely to follow. Step by step instructions were detailed. The fb group really helped me understand the parts I couldn’t quite get a grasp of. I used a vintage woollen blanket and a vintage flannelette sheet. The finished cape is beautiful and I’m so proud.
We do Round the Vines in Martinborough and this year dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. Made this cape in shrug length and made a shoulder length lining as it would be hot. Admired by several other groups. Made very full aprons from an old pattern
I used faux fur for the lining and Firespiral woven wrap for the exterior with a Pixie hood. I love it! I would also love to see a full length version or 'hack' in a future update :)
The directions were so easy to follow! A quick satisfying project with a beautiful result. Thank you.
I loved making the travellers cape. Easy to follow instructions and very few sections to assemble. I was about to usea faux wol for the external layer and contrasting liner. I loved it so much I made second for a family member
Great pattern, super easy to follow. Made a beautiful cape. I used boiled wool and it came out perfect!
