The sky is the limit with this pattern.

You can use ANY woven fabric, notions, or decorations you like. It really is up to your imagination. It’s an excellent scrap buster too!

Cape Main & Lining Fabric:

You can use any woven fabric for this. Best results will be from something such as cotton or quilting cotton. You will be stitching loads of bits of mane to the cape, so it needs to be strong enough to hold them all. If you want to use a heavier fabric, remember the mane will add a lot of weight and will make the cape quite warm to wear.

Head:

This is the hood and any woven fabric will work. You could go plain like cotton, or something totally different like fur!
