Pattern Description: I children's cape pattern

Pattern Sizing: I made a M 5/6 which is her RTW size thinking it would be big. It actually fits her well so to me it runs smaller then your typical Simplicity pattern but it certainly fits well.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?yes but I changed the sewing order a bit so that I could sew the back seam after attaching the ruffle.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I like the style or more precisely Emily likes the style. I did not like the lack of closure in the front so I added a button.

Fabric Used: pink polk a dot Hello Kitty fleece

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added a button, did not line the hood, and sewed the back seam after attaching the ruffle.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I would imagine I will sew it again in a year or two and yes I would recommend it.

Conclusion: my blog
