This was my first time using a digital pattern, I was nervous about it, but it was actually really easy with all the numbers and markings on the paper! Just took a little time to tape them together, but it wasn’t hard! I used a cotton valor for the outer fabric and interlock cotton for the liner. I consider myself still a beginner sewing, I’ve been making easy clothes patterns for a couple years now. I thought the directions were very clear and easy to follow. This is my most favorite thing I’ve made yet. I’m just so pleased with how it turned out. I can’t wait to make another for my son!
I used this pattern for a client's clown costume. I love that the pattern is so clearly marked and is easy to make adjustments to. I also bought the collar add on.
I got this pattern for little gnome capes for my daughters and it's so adorable. I used the pointy hoods and sewed on a magnetic snap for the closure. Mine are pretty bulky because I used a two layer wool blend for the outside and a flannel sheet for the lining but it still looks great with the top stitching. It's cold here on Halloween. I might make summer weight ones in the spring so they can play in them all year round. I think the cloaks will really grow with them!
This pattern is not for the faint of heart, but it produces such a beautiful result! I have been sewing for 20+ years with many techniques under my belt. This pattern still had something to teach me! This is not your average cloak pattern. The creators at Twig & Tale really thought of everything with this pattern- the arm slits, multiple pocket options, high-low hem, and a beautiful shoulder fit. I can't say enough good things about this cloak! Yes, it will be challenging but you will fall in love with it by the time it's completed.
I consider myself an experienced maker, and for the most part was able to assemble this pretty easily. The things I was a little unprepared for were the two sets of pockets as well as the lining hem that is assembled in an odd way. I’m sure it’s normal for people who have more experience than me, but I found this to be the most challenging part of the entire making process. That being said, I truly enjoy the finished product. I plan on wearing it regularly during the fall and winter months and absolutely love that it has pockets that are big enough to hold my cell phone and keys. I would definitely recommend this pattern to others who are looking for a fun alternate for a regular cloak or different wear for colder months.
