I love how creative you can be with this pattern! The mane was very time consuming but not difficult and totally worth the effort. It’s a great way to use up whatever items you have in your craft supplies!
Diana Holberg –
This was such a rewarding sew! It’s not a super fast sew so leave time to complete if you are using yarn but the results are super cute!!! The wrist straps are my daughters favorite part. Instructions are clear making this project easy for all skill levels. The hardest part is choosing fabric and mane materials.
Erica Triplett –
I really enjoyed this pattern! The instructions were well written and easy to understand. I also really appreciate the level of creativity this pattern allows. My daughter loves it and that’s the most important part, but I very happy with it, too.
Paula Crebbs –
I enjoyed making this. My granddaughter will love it. I had fun with the many options available to try to highlight creativity. Any issues I had were my own fault. I mixed a satin fabric with a knit lining but didn’t take into consideration the difference in how they would drape.
Kim Cierpik-Gold –
This is a cute cape with lot of possibility! I consider myself to be an adventurous beginner (a few simple clothing items and bags are my previous sews), and this pattern was completely do-able for me. The ears and horn can be a little tricky (I had to take my time and make a few attempts), but the results are so cute!
Leisagreen –
Love love love love this. Relatively simple and quick sew and best of all you can let your imagination run wild with mane.
Patty Louise Baity Schultz –
A quick and easy sew with endless creative options! So fun to watch it come together. My grand daughter loves it!
Ana Miguel –
I’ve a lot of fun doing this pattern. I loved sewing it!
Jen Vincilione –
The only part of the pattern that was tricky was attaching the ears and horn. The unicorn cape came out lovely.
Isabelle Couture –
This was an easy pattern! The only tricky part was the mane, but I didn’t choose the easiest way and my ribbons were sometimes too thin to be sewn. Lesson learned! It was easy enough that I chose to make it reversible! I love it! Instructions are well paced, the pieces fit perfectly together and the final fit and length is perfect on my 2,5 years-old! She has room to grow into, but she’s not stepping on it every two step she takes.
Scarlett Sims –
The most fun thing about this pattern is that it can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. The basic cape is incredibly easy to make, but I used some hand-sewing skills as well and putting the mane together was definitely a labor of love. This pattern really gave me an opportunity to get creative with my daughter and make something that was just for her.
Julie McBrien –
A great pattern that allows your imagination to run wild and be customised to suit the individual personality of the child it is being made for.
Chauntey Eckhardt –
I loved this pattern. I did make my mane a little thick and broke 2 needles by it came out beautiful. My daughter measured at the over lap of the 2 sizes and did the bigger size.
Corrine Smith –
The structure of the cape was easy to sew. The decorative bits like the horn, mane, eyes and ears were fiddly and alot of fun to add. I however over did the wooly mane and found it difficult to hand sew on. The hot glue gun was a saver for this. Overall it was a great sew and alot of magical fun. “
Tania Vervaeke –
I absolutely love the Unicorn Cape and the possibility to make it as basic or as pimped as you want. The pattern is very well explained and illustrated. The basic pattern is very easy for a beginner. Maybe it would be a possibility to add a cut file for cutting machines like silhouette cameo (or other) for the eyes/nose/birthmark.
Daphné Geeraerd –
This pattern is awesome! The instructions are clear and easy to follow. This project allows you to use all of your creativity :D. You can do whatever you want to make your unicorn even more magical. I’m sure that not only children will love this unicorn ;-).
Beth Partain –
This was the most fun I have had sewing a project in ages!!
Elyse Clarke –
Such a cool concept! The kids are loving it. The sew was fairly easy in general, just a little tricky with some of the decorations
Vicky Dufour –
Fun sew, my daughter really loves her cape. Made some minor mistakes along the way, like sewing two parts together at the wrong place… my advice would be to really spread out the parts and matching each sides properly.. I ended up with two of the same sides of the cape; I think it was the lack of coffee that didn’t help 🙂 The instructions are clear, lots and lots of option to make this cape one of a kind!
Nicky Dexter –
I loved sewing this Cape! There really is no end to the ways you can decorate it. The instructions were very clear, and the sewing time was about 2.5 hours total.
Jane Hand –
A lovely fun pattern, took my time with it as I wanted to get all the little details correct. I had fun with it but I found it quite fiddly as I chose to do quite a full mane. I think the option to put the mane on with Velcro would be useful to allow the cape to be washed if needed. This was my first time lining anything and I was pleased with how it turned out, although I made the mistake of using satin lining which was fiddly, I should have used cotton. I see this as a really versatile pattern with Halloween and Christmas looming, lots of options to make witches/elf etc ?.
Sarai Orama –
Great pattern with lots of choices! Instructions were clear for the most part without question. I did have a rough time sewing the mane by machine, but it was particularly full. An option may be helpful to make note of hand sewing or at least hand basting prior to machine sewing. 🙂
Kristen Soto –
The unicorn cape–although in my case a “horsie cape”–was a fun sew to make for my 3 year old daughter. The sewing of the cape itself is pretty straightforward, but there is lots of freedom to add creative embellishments with the mane, ears, horn, and other decorative details. My daughter had a lot of fun “helping” me with this sewing project by picking the fabrics and ribbons for her cape and this is a great addition to her dress up bin!
Lurinda Prinsloo –
This is a fun pattern with many options for creativity! The hand sewing was quite fiddly,though.
Nicole Lueke –
This pattern was such a joy to put together. The instructions were clear and well laid out and everything fit as it should. I enjoyed the creativity associated with this pattern and the ability to really put your own personal touch on it. My daughters absolutely love their capes and I have a feeling they will be treasured for a long time to come.
Tinie Toanlk –
This cape will be fabulous for halloween dress up. All the unicorn opt are fun & cute. a very quick sew as well
Kat Churchill –
Great easy pattern with lots of potential for adaptation to other animals. Your only limit is your Imagination. Love the Unicorn Cape and so does my 9yo
Tomorrow Hughes Papaleo –
This pattern was super easy and I love it! Once I got all the pieces sorted out, it was a snap to put together and I will definitely be making some for my other kiddos.
Rebecca –
This was a pretty quick and super easy sew. It allowed for personal creativity to shine through and ensure that no two makes will be the same. My daughter loves her unicorn cape as I could really personalize it for what she likes.
Jenny Gomez –
This was so fun! My 4 year old granddaughter loved it! So many ways to embellish! I copied one of her favorite characters!
Gabrielle Carisse –
This was a fun and creative sew! I really enjoyed imagining /trying different options for the mane and horn. And it was so easy and quick to sew I even got it done inbetween numerous breastfeeding sessions! The end result is magical and makes a nice addition to our costume chest.
Jessica Barajas –

Kerry Wallman –
Adorable finished product. Sewist needs to read through instructions fully before assembling. Easy to follow directions but construction can be tricky if you aren’t paying attention.
Jennifer Galea –
Ok so overall this pattern is super cute! I’ll be honest at first I wasn’t a huge fan of the method for attaching the mane but OMG the end result was gorgeous so I completely get it now! Also I really love the wrist elastic I never would of thought to add that but it’s a really great feature. (The elastic measurement was absolutely spot on for her wrists too!) overall super cute and 10/10 will make again!
Ana Miguel –
Very funny and creative sew
