I'm on my third set of Monarch wings already, and have even adapted the pattern to make my own version of the dragon wings. Before I started I had lots of questions and the chat group on Facebook was so helpful - even down to where to source the right Interfacing (you have to ask for it at Spotlight because they keep it behind the counter) I've done some quilting and applique in the past so none of the techniques were too unfamiliar but the clear instructions made it straight forward. I bought a 250m reel of thread for the first set and that wasn't quite enough to finish them so make sure you have plenty of thread. They didn't take me nearly as long as I thought they might. Having already adapted the pattern once I can see endless possibilities.
It takes forever but it’s definitely worth it. Pattern is very clear. I didn’t need to watch the videos to do any of this. It came out amazing and everyone is amazed by it. Make sure you actually read the instructions because it makes it very easy to do and know how to cut everything
I GAVE MY MOTHER THE PATTERN TO MAKE THE BUTTERFLY WINGS FOR MY DAUGHTER ON HER BIRTHDAY. THEY WERE A SUCCESS

The finished wings feel so sturdy and high quality. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. We used an orange with gold highlights in it and it is so beautiful.
4 stars instead of 5 because the pattern was missing a few instructions I had to figure out on my own. I also really would have appreciated knowing how much fabric to buy, instead of using up scraps.
A great pattern overall.
I made these wings for my daughter for Halloween this year and I’m so pleased with how they turned out. The pattern was incredibly detailed and made what seemed daunting quite enjoyable. I’ll surely be making more in the future.
Every year, I make my daughter a Halloween hoodie that she can wear year round. The butterfly was perfect to adapt for this year's costume. It works well with knits.
These little wings are the absolute bomb. I love the versatility with other butterfly markings too. I have "frankensteined" Birdwing and Ulysses butterflies. A little more attention needed as the quilting steps are a little different to the other 3 wings.
Great pattern, clear easy to follow instructions and the video tutorial makes them a pleasure to make my 3 year old grandson loved them
I love this pattern. It is beautiful, imaginative and playfull.
It's great for kids to play with it and to stimulate their imagination.
It is also a great decoration element at home.
