Pattern Description:
Cape with collar and length variations.
Pattern Sizing:
14-20. I made size 16. View B.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes it did.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy. The pattern is pretty straight-forward in what to do.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked the style and length. It has a collar, which can help to keep the neck warm. Or if worn unbuttoned, it doesn't look weird.
Fabric Used:
I used a wool suiting fabric.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't make any changes to the pattern. I think the buttons I used might have been slightly larger than what the pattern calls for. I used some buttons I already had at home.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I probably would not only because I don't need another cape.
Conclusion:
This is a very easy pattern to make. I didn't think that I had had it for that long, but apparently it is oop. I have a picture of the pattern envelope as well as some other pictures on my blog
