#WeekendSewingClub holiday special… this is the face of a woman thinking “fuck you I won”.

I jettisoned the coat I started last week (energy too scarce to waste on a project that doesn’t excite me), and redirected attention to the water-resistant, bonded houndstooth wool, but with a ‘simple’ cape pattern (new look, N6768).

It was like sewing a tarpaulin. Should have been doable in two days, but took 5. My hands are TRASHED. I love the result. #sewing #tailoring #iMadeItMyself #ItHasPockets
Me, mirror selfie, wearing knee-length, high neck black/white houndstooth cape and a slight, but smug smirk.
The cape, hung up, buttoned right up to the neck, flat against the wall, emphasising the width, the arm-slits, diagonal section seams, and the big, black buttons down the front.
Detail of a pocket, set into the diagonal section seam, held open, because they’re damned near invisible otherwise.
It's gorgeous. The world nees more capes.
is there some kind of belt or west on the inside? because it looks like its not just hanging loose. (the simplicity shop site also does not show the inside)
This looks amazing.
that is gorgeous!
Oh dear. I think I may need a cape like this. This is *perfect* very sharp. Very tweed.
it's *gorgeous*!
oh, wow, that is an extremely great cape
It looks like a superhero cape of sorts 😄👍🏻
😍 it's gorgeous!
That is so beautifully made
Oh my gosh it looks GORGEOUS!! Sorry about your hands.
What an amazing, fabulous garment!
very nice!
wow, I love it! It’s a classic piece I think you will enjoy a long time. The little details show the effort you put into it. Great work!
fabulous! Great pockets too
it’s spectacular.
Looks great! I feel for your sore hands.
ahh that makes sense! Any suggestions on places to look for patterns? Too bad there isn’t an open source collection of patterns out there. 😎
thank you!
You have a stainless meter rule? 😮
Nice. I have some really fine rules from my dad's estate. He left me his precision tools. But the longest of that set is 30cm (12 inch). I have a 60cm (24 inch) rule. But to be honest, I've never seen a meter rule. We had wooden ones in science classes.
