#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

@drandrewv2 looks great. Hope you wow everyone who admires it with the fact that you made it.
@drandrewv2 It's gorgeous. The world nees more capes.

@drandrewv2

Oh dear. I think I may need a cape like this. This is *perfect* very sharp. Very tweed.

@drandrewv2 oh, wow, that is an extremely great cape

@drandrewv2

Ooh, neatly inset pockets! Very elegant!

@drandrewv2 It looks like a superhero cape of sorts 😄👍🏻
@drandrewv2
That is so beautifully made
@drandrewv2
Oh my gosh it looks GORGEOUS!! Sorry about your hands.
What an amazing, fabulous garment!
@Giselle @drandrewv2
It's quite excellent, especially in a region where you are likely to get rained on regularly. I can't imagine the texture for constructing it, though! Well-done.
@drandrewv2 That looks absolutely amazing. Well done!
@drandrewv2 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!
@drandrewv2 fabulous! Great pockets too
@drandrewv2 This looks so GREAT! Excellent work and thanks for sharing!
@drandrewv2 Looks great! I feel for your sore hands.
@drandrewv2 You have a stainless meter rule? 😮
