Always Be Yourself Unless You Can Be a Unicorn. Then Be a Unicorn via Rebecca Page's Unicorn Cape Sewing Pattern

Life's all about Rainbows, Glitter, and Unicorns. 

Sparkle a little more each day with Rebecca Page's Unicorn Cap Sewing Pattern

It's a beautifully designed costume, play, or "keep me warm" cape with several options:
- Main Cape with lining
- Eyes
- Ears
- Optional Mane (this is a MUST!)
- Optional Velcro neck closure
- Optional Wrist elastics

 

So I actually sewed this up for one of my nieces for Christmas...but you know...had to test it out. 

This is size 7-8.

I LOVED every aspect of sewing up this Unicorn Cape

From the cute felt heart adorning the front corner, the eyes with pretty lashes, Heart Nostrils, fun horn, and the mane...it's just stinking adorable!





The mane and horn are my faves!

I used this ribbon gem strand I've been hoarding for several years to wrap around the horn (hand stitched in place every inch or two in order to prevent movement), and it was meant to be a unicorn. 

For the mane, I used a plethora of different styles of yarn and ribbon that I've just had stashed away - and the colours and different textures worked out beautifully. 



The most tedious part of the cape *is* the mane. It took me two episodes of Lucifer to cut through all of the different ribbons, lace, and yarn that I chose, but it was SO worth the effort in the end. 

I made the longest length mane - you can certainly make yours as long or as short as you like. 

Again, keep in mind, I'm 5'-2", and this cape was made for a 7 year old, not a $)#$*& year old. 

I'd totally wear this all day, and can't wait to make one for me for those days I'm working from my home office and need some sparkle and magic. 

I've needed a lot of sparkle and magic this year. Maybe a cape would help it stick. 


So me wearing the cape...this is our secret, right?

Grab the cape bundle here now to bring a bit of magic into your home or someone who really needs it.
