Customer Reviews
My son wanted to go as Mothra this year for Halloween. I knew 100% that I was going to use this pattern as my begining steps for the costume. It was a great project and the tutorials were spot on. My son is very happy and I feel really good about how it all came out.
The pattern is so easy to follow and the videos are super helpful. Im so excited to finish my first ones.
I am very happy 😊
This is my favorite wing pattern of them all! The instructions are easy to follow and every pair I’ve made, I love! I love getting creative with different colours and fabric patterns. Images from a recent pair I made for a 5th birthday present.
Pattern was easy to follow had fun making this for my granddaughter for a Easter Basket Gift
I've never done applique before and really enjoyed making it and pleased with the result
My daughter wanted to be an elve for Halloween, so the Monarch wings really came in handy. The included coloring sheet is a very nice touch, giving the child the possibility to design their own wings.
When I read the tutorial for the first time I was quite overwhelmed. But once I started and just followed the tutorial step by step, it was easier in the end than initially feard. Though it takes some time: Having three small children I only sewed in the evening for about 2 hours each time and needed around 4 evenings to finish the wings.
But I am really happy with the result - as is my daughter. Thank you for this beautiful pattern!
As always, the instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The wings are gorgeous and so beautifully finished and are being thoroughly enjoyed by the little one who received them. I’ll be making more when I recover from the trauma of turning them out :)
fantastic pattern, very detailed. useful hints and tips. I really liked the information about monarch butterflies too - I was learning as I made. I opted to use an upcycled wool blanket, and plain cotton for mine. I didn't include the white spots around the edges of the wings - due to spots on the cotton.
A lovely, thoughtfully designed pattern, with tons of guidance for the sewer who's new to this kind of project (me!). These have the potential to be a powerful scrapbuster, though my set is in new fabric with some HTV for the metallic dots. My two-year-old adores her wings! She can even put them on by herself (and she does).
