ANIMAL ADD-ON FAQ
Q: Will this include the pattern for the actual garment?
A: You must purchase a compatible Twig + Tale® vest, coat or cape/cloak pattern separately, as these animal add-ons do NOT contain all the pattern pieces for the base garment.
Q: Can I use the same animal add-on for all the kids patterns?
A: As the necklines are different between the garments, you will need to purchase the add-on specifically for the garment type you are sewing.
Q: Is there an add-on for the Adults?
A: Lucky you, the Adult VEST Animal add-on and the Adult COAT Animal add-on includes both the Men's/Straight Fit AND Women's Curved Fit size ranges in each - bonus! The Adult Traveller Cape and Overland Cloak are gender expansive patterns.
Supplies
Use the fabric requirement chart from your original garment pattern.
The Animal hood has the same fabric requirements as the Round hood. If adding a tail, allow another 1⁄4 yard or metre.
It is intended that your choice of ears can be cut from the scraps - however, if making a Bunny, Puppy or Giraffe, you may need to allow a tiny bit more fabric.

Customer Reviews
Excellent instructions as always. My kiddo requested to be a lion for Halloween this year and this pack worked out perfect. I used the scout pants pattern for the bottoms and mashed the hood to a not t&t top. The whole thing turned out great and kiddo is very happy.
The animal add on was exactly what I needed. Easy to make up and it looked fabulous in the long black fur that I used to replicate our cat.
Danke für das tolle Schnittmuster !
Ich liebe dieses Schnittmuster
Mein Sohn liebt seine neue Drachenjacke total!
I am in love with Twig & Tale patterns and this one is no exception! I have only made one Pathfinder with the Bear ears add-on but have more in mind. The tutorials are invaluable, as I am a visual learner, and guide you step by step. I will make many more because of the ease and variations of the pattern. Just found some 'mane' yarn so that will be next :)
Great pattern and easy to make. So many ideas and great photos
My daughter wanted to be a dragon for Halloween and she picked out the fabric. She loves the outcome. Even with tips from the FB group the spikes on the head are a little floppy but overall we're both very happy. The sparkly fabric she picked for the wings and spikes worked perfectly otherwise with support from interfacing (on both sides). The green sparkly fabric is quilting cotton. She and I both have Pathfinder vests and I love how the animal add-on contributes to how the pattern can be used.
Great pattern, instructions a bit tricky as it is reliant on you purchasing the animal add on pattern. I had to figure out how to adapt it to the vest pattern as I didn't have the animal add-on, but it wasn't super difficult to figure out. Little One is super pleased with her dragon. I added gloves with talons and a fire stick...boom happy little dragon.
It was a bit challenging to figure out when/how to manage these as the pattern doesn’t explicitly tell when to add them in.
I didn’t make the fox ears very well and they don’t stand up at all, but I believe that was a maker error.
Happy with the animal add on bit.
Using the adult animal vest add on plus the free child's dragon add on to create 2 adult dragon pathfinders was such fun. The possibilities are huge with the animal options and achieving something amazing is as easy as following step by step
