The simple magic of the Traveller Cape Pattern is its simplicity; slip it on for warmth getting to and fro, and watch them transform into whomever their heart desires.
...."Before she takes the throne in a land of enchantment, before he sets off into the woods with his band of knights, they don a cape and stand tall, heads held high towards the clouds..."
Easy to make and easy to wear, it indulges kids' fairytale-esque ways. Everything from cloak length Star Wars costumes, Red Riding Hood capes and Elsa & Anna caplets to an everyday alternative to a coat, this pattern does it all.
Nothing makes a child's imagination soar quite like a cape...

Twig + Tale
From my treehouse studio hidden within the New Zealand forest, I draft clothing and toy patterns that capture the essence of childhood storybooks. To me, sewing is a magical journey, full of adventure and the wonderful tales that each material holds. I believe in reusing fabrics when possible and bringing new life to old things, in spending time (sometimes together, sometimes alone) to let the spirit run free.
Twig & Tale is for everyone who shares a love of creativity and an adventurous spirit—beginner sewers especially! It's a celebration of the innocence of childhood and the wonder of nature. It's about comfy clothes and warm things like hugs and capes and coats. It's about handmade, love, and imaginary play—featuring classic, simple patterns that inspire us all to tell a story.
