Sew a luxurious hooded cloak designed for hiking and adventure, with a generous dash of dreaminess.  With its flowing, swishy silhouette, wearing the Overland Cloak makes every day feel like a storybook adventure.

Thoughtfully designed for unhindered movement, heirloom-quality finishes, and clever hidden pockets, with plenty of options to make it your own.

The beautifully-shaped, overlapping chest fasteners provide warmth, while the open front ensures freedom of movement - whether you're wielding a walking stick, wand, or the dog's leash - the Overland Cloak won't slow you down.  

Nothing sparks the imagination quite like a full, flowing cloak - it's a great base pattern for costumes.  Great for pregnancy and baby-wearing too.

Skill level:  Adventurous beginner construction, however more of an intermediate experience as you are dealing with large pattern pieces and expanses of fabric.

Skills you will learn: How to sew a facing, add in-seam pockets, and bind a hem.

What a beautiful cloak!

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.

Perfection!

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 🤍✨👌🏻

Magical cloak

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.

Amazing cloak!

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!

Utter perfection

I have made a few cloaks before but all fell short compared to the epic Drama this one delivers.

I also really loved how comfortable it was and how the double button or in my case snaps kept it securely on my shoulders.

I've already had 2 friends ask for their own!!

Love the overall drama of the cloak.

And let's not forget! IT HAS POCKETS! HUGE POCKETS! So you can bring everything you need 💛

Drama abounds

I love everything about this cloak, and not least that it replaces a garment I wore over 50 years ago!
The instructions are once again easy to follow and guides you to producing a quality garment.
I love the binding at hem and side seams - T and T patterns always have such wonderful little extra features.
