Customer Reviews
This pattern is so easy to follow. My daughter loves it and keeps bragging that her mummy made it! I have been asked to make some for my friends kids. Thank you for making this so easy:)
I made this in 2 days with not very much experience and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The pattern is very thorough and i really enjoyed the process of making the pixiepea coat. I will be making this again and would recommend!
Pattern was quite easy to use, I was very happy with how it turned out. I have a granddaughter & grandson who are twins, so I made one for each. It was quite simple to make changes so that the coats didn't look the same. They are quite practical, they are a little bit longer, and I quilted them with batting inside so they will be warmer. I was nervous about doing the lining, but everything fit together well, and sits smoothly. No lumps and bumps.
I loved making this pattern because of the very clear instructions, which included photographs to show each step visually. The pattern included options for two different hoods or a collar and no hood, and instructions for doing loops and buttons/toggles, or buttons and buttonholes. It also showed photos of the various ways other people have sewn up the coat for inspiration. It didn't take long to sew up, and it turned out so cute!
I am a beginner and I found this pattern easy to put together and the instructions very clear. I made a lion coat with the animal add on and it turned out great!
I’ve made both the mens/straight fit and the women’s/curved fit, and tried the animal add-ons. I love the results, they always turn out beautifully, and look so complicated and well finished for something that is actually relatively easy to sew up! The pattern is so versatile to create different looks by adjusting fabric choices, lengths, hood style, etc.
I really loved making this pattern for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter. I used leftover fleece for the lining, corduroy for the main exterior & plaid flannel for the sleeves, interior hood & button panels. I am super thrilled how it turned out. She is going to look so cute in it. It was written well with very straightforward instructions. A project that could be made in a day.
I've been sewing for 60 years. This was, hands down, the best pattern I've ever used. The sizing information was spot on and the instructions were crystal clear. I made two pixie pea coats in the first month I've had the pattern. They both are darling.
Great pattern!
Pattern instructions are easy to follow. I made this for my niece, can’t wait to make the Dino for her brother
