This way madness lies….

So a while ago I was in Guthrie and Ghani and spotted something that caught my eye. It was a new indie pattern designer I’d not come across before and there was a host of interesting designs.

There was however one pattern above the others that stood out to me. It wasn’t the most practical of items, but, none the less, it was intriguing.

I ummed and ahhhed about it for the best part of a month; would I be able to make it? Could I justify buying nearly 4m of fabric for something I might not wear? Especially as I’d need particularly expensive fabric.

Then, one evening, the boy asked a seemingly innocuous question that got my brain whirring.

And so, this weekend, I’ve begun on what can only be a foolish road. I’m code naming it “operation leopard print cape” because, well, I’ve decided to make Papercut Pattern’s Milano cape using fake leopard print fur.

Wish me luck, I’m going to need it….

  1. OH MY GOSH. You so made the right call – this is such a cool pattern! And I adore the fabric. I can’t wait to see how it turns out! x
