Love it! It’s nearly finished, just trying to make the ears stand up before I embark on two more.

I’ve tried doing the hand stitching as detailed in the instructions, but it still doesn’t seem to work for me. Any tips please? Also, I’m going to make a couple more, can I add vilene to stiffen the ears and make them stand up a little better? My fabric on the outer is a wool coating and the lining is…[Read more]

I’m just finishing my first one (have 3 more to make for friends!) but had a little trouble with sewing up the opening curve, after I’ve turned the carrier to the right way. Should I have clipped the curves slightly before trying to turn the edges under along my basting line?…[Read more]

Love the book and just love the capes. Putting the machine away for a couple of days then into a wee skirt for a friend’s 2 yr old, complete with Dora appliqué. Cross fingers it turns out well. After that…the bear carrier. Can’t wait.

Very excited about completing the cape and rapt with how it turned out. I did the front and back panels vertical and the side panels horizontal. Looks great.

I’ve always pinned close to edge of fabric so rapt that I learned your tip of pinning on the seam line, what a difference! Cape coming along nicely. Can’t wait to finish it tomorrow.

Might give it a go, as you said, on paper first. (Another good idea!)

Has anyone else made it in stripes? Do you have any photos? Is it possible to line up stripes at all in the seams, or is that an impossible task?
