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.

Unicorns, Unicorns, EVERYWHERE! Rebecca Page Patterns Unicorn Doll Sewing Pattern

Always be yourself, unless you can be a Unicorn.  

Then always be a Unicorn. 

Rebecca Page Patterns has a lovely new handsewn Unicorn Doll Pattern.  

The pattern includes:
- A whimsical and magical unicorn pattern

- No machine required - can be stitched completely by hand (hello, camping project!) 

- Beautiful mane (with as few or many hair wisps as you'd like!)

- Button or doll joints for the legs

I am a bit of a Unicorn fan, so jumped at the chance to create my very own Unicorn!  

Hand Cutting out all of the pieces deems a netflix episode (or  two) - and I know a few testers used their Cricut machines to cut out their pieces even quicker (don't ask me how  - I don't own such Wizardry!). 

Then the stitching begins. 

The tail is first - and can be plain, fully stuffed, or partially stuffed and embroidered.  I opted to match my felt fabric colours with some embroidery thread.  

Make sure to stuff the tail VERY lightly in order for this to work.  

The horn is super cute - and you can be as creative or basic as you like.  I glued some pink string beads onto it in a circular motion for a blast of colour. 

And look at those eyes!  I used iron on fabric for the eye, and embroidery thread for the lashes.

And THAT MANE.

It's pretty gorgeous! I think I used about 40 pieces of hair wisp to create this, and I love the way it looks. 

I did just sew the legs on - no buttons, no doll joints...just plain. Sure they don't move, but he's okay not moving. 

Why move when people will move you instead? 

Sparkle Fancy Feet is smart. 

Play with Fairies. 

Ride a Unicorn.

Swim with Mermaids. 

Chase Rainbows. 

Give your try at creating this gorgeous Unicorn toy - and give old-fashioned hand sewing a go. 

You and any kiddos you can safely round up will enjoy this as a great summer project!
