[@Lkmcnair01]

There She Goes I know she is so CUTE

[@FluffyMonsterPony]

Damn she is so freaking CUTE!! I always wanted a coat like this and I think I'm going to make one for myself now! Looks so good!

[@bmeo1234]

[@buddyholly4672]

[@xAnicsi]

I've never really wanted kids, but when I see this adorable princess I just can't help but thinking it would be nice. She's all smiles, how adorable! Also, that coat suits her perfectly, such a great idea you had there.

[@StrayKids_et_al]

Harper is way more fashionable than I have ever been.

[@xstaticxstatic]

Omg I've been wanting to make something for my niece who is the same size...this is so perfect! I can't wait to do this, I'm so excited. Your little cousin is soooo cute, I just about died at the end. Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@xstaticxstatic]

Oh and my favourite thing about fall is the weather :) not too hot, not too cold

[@darlene.michaud]

Harper is the perfect model! Beautiful work, as always!

[@BonesofStarlight]

I commend the patience of anyone who can hand sew... anything, let alone a whole hem.

[@Gandellion]

You're not wrong, that is a very adorable tiny human!

[@Bestarstruck]

Oh my goodness... your cousin is the absolute cutest kid I've ever seen!! This is definitely my favorite piece you've made for her, the baby blue dress was beautiful too. I always enjoy seeing little children wear miniature versions of high fashion trends. Awesome job, can't wait to see you hit 1 million!! xoxox

[@allyprince6465]

I really liked the "slash and spread method" tip! I would love to see more dressmaking/drafting tips like this. Harper is gorgeous.

[@Brenda-nl3bk]

I love how you use wrapping paper for your patterns! The cape came out beautifully and it looks so adorable on Harper!

[@princesssadieloo]

Omg! Harper is just precious... Great job, hope you find a kilt with enough fabric for yourself, please do an April and Harper matching holiday outfit!

[@ladyshkspre]

And now my head has exploded from the cuteness overload. Harper is adorable!!

[@janice5309]

This cape is so great! And baby girl is so adorable. You can tell she loves her new Cape!

[@maryannanderson7517]

Nice cape and that little girl is adorable.

[@vacheliiyer5723]

[@karenporter2631]

Your little cousin is absolutely precious. I see why you enjoy sewing for her.

[@bigacornlavafla1310]

She's such a little princess THE CUTENESS IS MAKING IT HARD TO BREATHE

[@judychapman1868]

April, you did such a great job on the cape, and your little cousin is beautiful!!! Judy

[@foxxybrown291]

[@csage1981]

Harper is so adorable. I loved how this little cape looked on her.

[@keebler5064]

The cape is great! The baby is soooo adorable and you are awesome and getting better all the time! Good luck on 1 million!!

Little Fashionista Harper ❤ can't get enough of this sweet baby girl! Auntie April you are awesome!

April your transformation was lovely. I just want you to know you have inspired me to sew again a long with Annika and few others

[@msjdyp]

Oh my goodness, what a doll baby she is, cape included! She's totally adorable.

[@Ica_Goose]

Literally the cutest little being ever!!

[@nrsimmons178]

Aww, more baby shenanigans. Harper is super adorable in this cape! Great job, April!

[@clons3253]

So adorable, both of them(cape and Harper!)

[@joyin9852]

The adorable tiny huham you have is adorable and was born a model. She's gorgeous and looks absolutely amazing in the little cape you made. She looks like a baby wizard xx

[@xloveshelly]

Harper is freaking adorable. 💕

[@kaoticnecrosis4242]

This is the good that's left in the world. She is so adorable, my heart can't take it.

[@YvesGeorge]

Harper's going to be a great muse! I can't wait for her to try on your future clothes when she's older.

[@NAWennerholm]

Your little cousin looks so adorable. It makes me think about how my mom and grandmother used to all of my clothes especially since I had crazy body proportions making me hard to fit. Plus with them making my clothes for me it meant so much more than the store-bought.

[@bmeo1234]

amazing transformation!!!!! She is just too cute

[@wxclim8]

Congrats on being so close to 1 million subscribers, April! Hope you reach your goal. :) That coat is so cute and so is she! Hopefully you find the material you need to make your own too!

[@cleohalfpenny9589]

Most cutest human being I've ever came across

[@overthemoune]

I think I'm the only who literally cried tears from the cuteness and raw skill and the end of the video. Omg....must be cayenne in the air.

[@Sha-Ne-Ru]

I've been drawing up plans to make a cape for myself too! but i'm stuck on what kind of cape i'd prefer :3 like to hood it or no hood... that is the question! trying to get kids to stand still is the cutest thing xD hahaha

[@elishafranklin7863]

Nova Nocturne hood, always hood.

[@bmeo1234]

+KribetPrincess nice

[@harleyquinn3025]

Ooh yes, a detachable hood is a great idea

[@stephaniegallant4373]

Harley Quinn

[@hannahhayat3694]

[@Wintersnow147]

Your baby cousin is absolutely precious she melts my heart

[@ashleyramirez6886]

Omg she's so adorable !! I love when you do clothes for infants!

[@ruthheythaler6457]

Omg baby Harper is so frickin adorable...she makes me smile. You did a great job on the cape.

[@jackrose817]

The end has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen

[@galeholt3757]

[@TheAbnormis96]

You should update your intro, you have made so much more "wow" transformations than the ones showcased in your current one😘

[@monicabonds5652]

April, once again you did it!! I absolutely love the cape! Harper is the most adorable little sweetie and sssssooooo cute. No doubt, your million sub's are definitely on the way. I am a sewer and a crafter also. I think it's great that people who don't even have an interest in sewing are drawn to watching your videos! Thank you for inspiring us and for sharing your gift and talent!!

[@NiyaKumarA]

that little girl is so cute and adorable

[@KilowattMotors]

That runway twirl! 😍😊 She is such an adorable lil fashion model. The cape is so pretty 😊

[@Whitney_Sews]

Just wanted to note that what you started with was a plaid wrap skirt (not a kilt) my mom had a similar skirt in the 90s. My hubby has a kilt though :) But anyway, the cape turned out super adorable! I love this series and always look forward to new videos!

[@ralucadudescu]

The coat and the "customer" are absolutely adorable!

[@ethelt4954]

Harper is so cute!! >.< and great work OMG you never fail to amaze me with every video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@shybunny2759]

That is one of the most adorable babies I've ever seen, and a true pro at modelling.

[@kbudzin]

this is WAY TOO CUTE... not sure if it is the model or the cape that makes it so irresistible!

[@juliaverrier3626]

Karen Budzinski I think it’s a little bit of both

[@diedrapayne6202]

This one was so very special and what a tedious task with a pattern. It turned out beautifully and the collar is so fun. The sweet little lady is the cutest ever...I mean really! 🤗🤗🤗🌻🌻

[@lestranged]

It looks like you didn't have enough fabric to try to match the plaid on the left and right front pieces, which is a bummer. This plaid has a large repeat. If anyone makes this from scratch or with more fabric, matching the plaid on the front pieces is a really good idea.

[@toBe8ere]

lestrange is it more common, unless preferred otherwise, to match the pattern perfectly when it comes to patterned clothes?

[@lestranged]

If you have enough fabric, I would at least try to match the horizontal motifs (the horizontal stripes in the plaid or other pattern motifs like large flowers) so that it appears to continue smoothly across the front. The front is what people see first and notice the most. Matching the pattern at side seams is also desirable if possible. I also try to match the pattern on patch pockets , such as shirt pockets, so that they kind of meld into the bodice. When buying ready made clothes, it's often the mark of a well made piece when the pattern is matched perfectly at the seams. The larger the repeat, the more extra fabric you might need to match it, but large repeats are also the most noticeable when they are not aligned. If it's a really small pattern like gingham, you don't need to worry so much, because at a distance it looks more like a texture and you can't even see the checks.

[@KatieLuvsToSing]

+Michelle Miyazato yeah why would you not if you had enough fabric?

[@lestranged]

Well matched patterns can make a garment look more high end just like good finishing on the inside, etc. French seams, full linings, perfectly fitted to YOUR body instead of an 'average' body. Almost no ready made garments have the high quality details anymore (especially not garments in my price range), so when I make things I like to put those in.

[@rae.quillzwilltree8267]

I am planning to make a skirt and vest that plaid any hints to make them . having best matching up them plaid pattern

[@brianahorton7286]

Omg too much cuteness! The camera loves her. Coat turned out sooo nice! Love love it!

[@Lambpika]

i made one for my cat... mostly because i don't have any little nieces, and also because its never cold where i live... :(

[@sociallyaquard]

Lambpika aww

[@shrljazz]

She is so adorable in that cute little cape, one of your best April.

[@sherrybiggar1929]

you need to do a channel making clothes for Harper called "sewing up with Harper" or "growing up with Harper". that would be so cute. BTW she is a wonderful little model.

[@mariamakermanMarz]

omg hw cute is that adorable kid, awwwwwww i just enjoywatching her happy smile.wish everyone in the world could be as pure and positive a that child

[@madiis18account]

[@UltraHanisah]

[@shonajay]

That cape is so adorable and she is a fantastic model, such personality. She,s a cutie. Great job Thxs for sharing.

[@marthaaaaa48]

I need a Harper in my life

[@CK9mum]

Harper is so cute I can hardly stand it! Well done on the cape April! That looked challenging but you have amazing knowledge and skills.

[@foreverlostinabook]

This is so cute! Could you possibly do a tutorial for a full length, winter friendly skirt? I love wearing skirts but it's impossible to find any for winter months over here.

[@darianroscoe1017]

Cape is adorable, model is too! I think she's got that model thing going on!

[@horse_life_0867]

She is sooooo cute oh my gosh!!!

[@soniam3184]

Your baby is so beautiful! And so is her lovely little cape!!

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

too bad I am already subscribed for a Long time but I wil try to promote you to get 1 million! your channel is so awesome! I get so many ideas from you. downloads many many Picture to recreate what you Made. you totally deserve 1.000.000 !!!

[@Arionlappy]

She is too freaking cute and the cape coat is just amazing. She could have even worn it for Halloween and been baby Sherlock. Gah, so precious. :) Thanks for sharing.

[@BloodyIRose]

Nice Idea! However I think personally I would have just done it with one complete frontpiece and one complete backpiece, instead of using 4 pieces in the front and 3 in the back. Your way the pattern doesn't match up, which would have bothered me, but it looks beautiful on that child :) And man that little lady is sooo adorable :D

[@vanessas2454]

I agree. It´s hard to work with patterned fabrics, especially if you don´t have much. In this cape, I actually quite like that the "sleeves" are angled differently, and it doesn´t bother me too much that the fabric doesn´t match exactly because it´s evident only if you look closely. The middle part in the back however bothers me, because it´s crooked and doesn´t look right, even if you don´t look closely. In addition to the optical problem, I can imagine that the back pulls weirdly because the fabric isn´t set in right. For this kids´ coat it might not matter much, but if it had been a woman´s garment, the higher weight alone would likely have caused it to drag to one side instead of hanging straight.

[@susanpointfive]

She's so precious & makes the cape coat look so cute!! 11/10 would recommend

[@Purelyamy92]

I never comment but your cousin is gorgeous!!!

[@kamy9328]

she's adorable. I love the weather and colors of fall. 🍁🍂🍃

[@acmulhern]

Stunning! I'd love to make one for my little girl, but I doubt I'll find a kilt anywhere...

[@toBe8ere]

Anne-Catherine Mulhern an old-fashioned coat or thick plaid fabric would work just as well i think.

[@Ame2020v]

Anne-Catherine Mulhern goodwill or thrift stores! I see them all the time!

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

It is actually just a plaid wrap skirt not a kilt.
