#CAPE SEWING PATTERNS CAPE CLOAK HOW TO#

Instead of using tracing paper, I taped 8.5 x 11 pages together and traced all the lines and markings from the books pages. But I’m sure it saves on printing costs, making the book less money for me to buy, so I totally appreciate that. To be honest, it’s not as convenient as just cutting out the pieces from their paper. This means that you have trace some of the pieces to your own tracing paper. The way many sewing books are going these days, is that the pattern pieces are printed full-size but many of them overlap.

Now just a word on pattern pages in books. I grabbed the pattern pages from the back of the book and got started.

It starts with waking up, getting dressed (with sewing patterns to go along), then playtime, eating, and finally bedtime.

The book walks you through the daily life of a mom of young kids. You can just feel it through her writing and kid-friendly projects. What I love most about this book is that you can see her personality in it. Then you probably know what a sweet, kind, creative woman Meg is. Let me tell you about this cute book first. Who knew that these two little requests would collide?Īnd would result in two hooded dress-ups!īut more on the capes in a moment. I was asked to wrap up her book tour by sharing a project from the book. Well, also a month ago I was asked to review the new book Growing Up Sew Liberated, by Meg of the Sew Liberated blog and shop. Lucy finally got sick of the blanket one day and asked, “Mom, can you make me a Mother Gothel Cape?” About a month ago the kids became uber obsessed with the Tangled movie….listening to the music non-stop, reenacting scenes, Owen taking the role of Flynn Rider, Lucy being Rapunzel and sometimes Mother Gothel–throwing a blanket over her head to act as a cape.
