FABRIC RECOMMENDATION
MAIN FABRIC: The Ryder Cape Coat has been designed for non stretch medium - heavy bottom weight fabrics. This ranges from a medium weight trench fabric to a heavier weight denim. Whether you are choosing something lighter or heavier we recommend that the fabric has a stiff structured drape to hold the shape of the cape coat effectively.
LINING FABRIC: We recommend using a lightweight woven fabric that has some structure to it. You can of course choose any woven fabric however we find that fabrics such as cotton shirting, cotton poplin, quilting cotton or similar produce a clean result.
INTERFACING: The pattern calls for interfacing on some of the panels. We recommend a weft fusible interfacing or a woven interfacing will work too (be sure to cut it on the grain!). Match the weight of the interfacing to the weight of your fabric..
SKILL LEVEL
Our aim is to make all our patterns simple and understandable enough for even beginners to use. To do this we provide step by step instructions and try to break down the process and hold your hand through it. Due to this, the testing call is open to all levels of sewing and we greatly appreciate feedback on how well the instructions guided you.
We rate the pattern itself as an INTERMEDIATE pattern.The pattern includes many pattern pieces, heavier fabrics and many steps. It is rated intermediate however it is also suitable for a confident beginner who would like to challenge themselves and learn new skills. We highly recommend taking the project slow and sewing intentionally, reading each step carefully.
The pattern is supplied as a large format A0 PDF file, a print at home PDF and in a projector format PDF
