This is Rachael’s version of the Fairy Tale Cape! Isn’t it fabulous? I think it’s a real showstopper! She used purple velvet as her main fabric and decided to make it floor-length and to line the hood.

You know what this cape reminds me of? 

I haven’t seen the movie yet (I’m only into the old Disney movies – Hakuna Matata, guys!) but I’ve seen enough pictures lately to immediately think of Elsa’s (?) cape in Frozen when I saw Rachael’s version.

You really need to have the balls to wear something as bold as this and I admire everyone who has! It’s a great cape for a special occasion. This Fairy Tale Cape lives up to its name!

It looks so comfy and I’d love to wear it walking through a snowy forest in winter! (Somebody buy me a horse pleaaaase?)

Great job, Rachael! Hope you have a lot of fun with your cape! x

If you’d like to make your own amazing version – you can download the pattern here!

Happy sewing!

Hello my lovely readers and sewing nerds!

After the release of my debut pattern on Friday, I want to share the gorgeous capes with you which my awesome pattern tester gang made! The ladies did an amazing job and they all were super creative! Every cape looked absolutely stunning and I was amazed by how everyone added their own touch to the pattern. I can’t wait to see more capes popping up on the interwebs!

You can download the Fairy Tale Cape pattern here.

The first Fairy Tale Cape I want to share was made by Lisa (all photo credit goes to her):

Really cosy cape. Great to travel in – as its smart like a coat, but snuggly like a blanket, love the freedom to move around in!

– Lisa

Lisa made a beautiful brown cape to wear instead of a coat now that spring has sprung! She chose to make buttonholes and topstitched the front of her cape. I love the large buttons!!The hood is lined with a beautiful flower print. There will be a sew-along coming up showing you how to add lining to your cape!
Here’s a close-up of the front & buttons:

Thank you, Lisa! You look gorgeous in your cape!

Happy sewing!

I really do love this pattern, it is so refreshing to see something so different and unusual but as the same time feminine and useful. It was crazy easy to sew together, and overall a very enjoyable project with many possibilities for embellishment and personalisation.

Helloo best people in the world!

I’m so excited right now I don’t even know what to write, so I’ll make it really short!
After weeks and weeks of drafting, sewing, testing and going through a lot of feedback by my lovely pattern tester gang, my first PDF pattern is now officially published for download.

The Fairy Tale Cape pattern is a ‘Pay As You Wish’ pattern. You can download it for free or donate whatever amount you feel is appropiate.

You can find more information on the pattern and the download link  ♥ HERE ♥

The pattern is also perfect for beginners. The pattern pieces are quick to cut and sew and the illustrated instructions are very detailed.

There will be sew-along and tutorial blog posts coming up in the near future. These tutorials will include instructions on how to sew variations of this pattern, add a lining or buttonholes.

I will share some of the capes that my pattern testers made in the next few days – So keep your eyes peeled!

Happy Sewing!
