5 out of 5 starsThis is a great pattern for beginners, and more experienced sewists looking for a fun project. I ended up adding a lining, which wasn't part of the pattern, but I finished the entire project in less than a day. The cape looks chic and modern, the instructions are easy to follow, and the project was fun to make. And now I have a dope cape to wear in cool weather!

5 out of 5 starsI ended up editing this pattern considerably, but it ended up looking awesome! I added 6” to the bottom all around, a gore in the back for fullness, and a lining.
However, be warned that there is only 1cm seam allowance and if you are a beginner, you will most certainly want to add more (the wool I used frayed a LOT). That’s my biggest complaint really— the seam allowance. It was very hard to try and get all of the seams sealed at 1cm. -

5 out of 5 starsWe made this with a heavy/mid weight, drapey linen. It was hard to find a zipper that gave it the look we were going for and we ended up with a separating zip from Joann's. It is a well written pattern and ended up fitting perfectly. The techniques used were definitely beginner methods. Even with a loose weave the seams matched up perfectly. We used iron on seam tape on the pocket fronts.

5 out of 5 starsSo cute! Instructions were simple and straightforward.
I cut the pattern to a size 6, but ended up doing some alterations in the waist and pants. Found that gathering the waist in the back made for a more flattering fit then depending on the belt to do so. I tapered the pant leg as well. -

5 out of 5 starsI'm so pleased with how this turned out. The instructions were so clear and easy to follow. I did need to take it in quite a lot because the skirt was far too big. I also took a shortcut with the straps because they were impossible to turn inside out. Great for beginners!
