(This pattern is EXACTLY the same pattern as the Traveller Cape)
The simple magic of the Cape is its simplicity; slip it on for warmth getting to and fro, and watch them transform into whomever their heart desires.

This is a really great pattern - easy to follow and looked utterly adorable
I made life difficult for myself because I ordered somewhat stretchy fabric for the outside (accidentally) and woven for the inside. Fortunately, I have an overlocker and a walking foot and the cape turned out really well. Initially, my 8 year old told me she wanted the classic length then after I'd printed and cut the paper pattern to size, decided she wanted it longer. I lengthened it using the blog instructions (rather than print those pages out again) so I can also say they work too and it's really easy to do. I'm an advanced beginner and the instructions give just the right amount of detail. It was a straightforward sew once I worked out that I had to ensure the stretch fabric was always next to the feed dogs. The pixie hood turned out nicely pointed. The most challenging part for me was sewing on the buttons in the right place. I made the 8 to teen size - it gives her a lot of growing room. In fact I could wear it!
A beautiful, easy to follow pattern with great sizing. My kids love to wear them on their Scout camps to keep them warm around the campfire on cold nights. Thank you!
Pattern was super easy to navigate and it made such a beautiful cape for my daughter to wear to school as she hates jumpers.
Will definitely be buy more patterns
This cape was so easy to make it was my first proper clothing make and definitely be a memorable one as my kids love them and such a great gift for birthdays as well. I've already made 3 in the last two weeks .Thank you Twig& Tale for this pattern and forum was very helpful as well .
Great pattern, easy to follow! End product looked awesom
This sweet cape ticks all the boxes being something that looks good with baby's best or made as a Halloween costume. I quickly made 5 for the sweet kiddos in my life. The pattern instructions, tutorial and videos go far beyond other patterns from the fabric shop where I felt defeated before beginning. You can truly be a beginner and learn how to make beautiful, long wearing things with these sweet patterns.
My Miss 4 asked me to make her Princess Anna's Riding Cloak from the movie Frozen.... This travelers cape came to mind.
I had to mix, match, and modify the pattern length significantly to achieve the shape from the movie and expected this to cause a few problems but it all came together like it was meant to be this way, without a single hiccup or rework required.
I've used the shortest leglth for the front and lengthened the back right down to floor length. All the seams and notched still lined up as they were ment to. This is a very versatile and easy pattern and I will be Making many more.
