Love everything about this pattern, easy directions, fit is good and one very happy little girl 💕
For granddaughter
My daughter wanted a princess cape for her birthday and this fitted the brief perfectly. I made the size 5-7 but lengthened it. The instructions were easy to follow. I do wish I pressed the lining seems as I went.
This pattern was so enjoyable to sew with so many options for customization. Even though the pattern is meant for woven fabrics, I was working with a knit (to make a capelet that matched another project) and this pattern worked a dream! I already have a request for long cloak from my niece, who loved her capelet so much. She is excited to have a winter cloak that she can wear instead of a "regular coat."
Easy to follow instructions and finished exactly as I had imagined it! I'm working on a second one right now!
Unlimited possibilities to express your creativity with this cape. First travel is for the sewist while sewing it! Tutorial, step-by-step explanations very well done as usual with T&T patterns !
Great pattern, really easy to follow for begginers to. My daughter liked it so much as a costume for carnivale.
Thank you. :)
I immediately fell in love with the Knights costumes, that you can make with the traveller cape pattern, when I saw the pictures. It was a lot of work, because of my choise of fabric every piece has a lining... But it was worth it. Can't wait to see my two sons in it and see their reaction! (It's a Christmas present). The tutorial of the traveller cape was very clear. Thank you!
I have two dragon-obsessed grandsons who love to dress up. I thought these might be fun for their adventures. The first one was challenging, but the second cape came together really easily.
I bought two army surplus blankets which after a wash were perfect for the outer capes, and used French Terry from my stash for the lining. Using a walking foot made managing the different fabrics simple, and for the first time, I used my embroidery machine to decorate the pockets.
I’m quietly pleased with the finished capes, but if there’s a next time, I’ll include arm slits.
Easy to make and the possibilità of three lengths id very nice
