Great pattern, super easy to follow. Made a beautiful cape. I used boiled wool and it came out perfect!
I sewed the Traveller Cape for my son’s bride in pale pink satin with an rose-embossed lining. She loved it!! She had planned to wear it during their outdoor wedding in November in Michigan (US) but the weather was so beautiful, she didn’t need it. But she did wear it to the venue, and she also loved the matching padded hanger I crafted along with a matching bag for her wedding day necessities.
I made this cape for my 98-year-old grandmother because she has a lot of difficulty getting her arms in and out of coats while sitting in her wheelchair. It came together so quickly and beautifully, and she loves it! Always a pleasure to sew a T&T pattern.
Such an easy and quick pattern. My daughter will wear this for years.
Love how the instructions are written with step by step photos of a mini version of the cape, that makes it super easy to see what should be done next and how.
I really enjoyed making this pattern! It is well drafted, and the instructions are clearly written and easy to follow.
It's a super sweet pattern and I am making it for my little niece and a large one for myself I am sure she will love it
I have searched for cape pattern and there were very few ones available. So happy I choose this one. I made a velvet cape with a collar for mother of the bride. It was so easy to follow and came out perfect. Now I have to buy the kids size so I can make mommy and me sets. Thank you
What an amazing pattern! So easy as the instructions are very easy to understand, the cloak looks great!
I was looking for a pattern for a warming cape because the windows here are often open due to COVID and I'm cold then. This cape is exactly what I was looking for. It's just the right size and easy to sew. The instructions are easy to understand even for non-native speakers.
