Then, I thought - this could make a cool dressing up cloak...and that thought led to...it could be a reversible cloak...trip to the fent shop for purple satin...then my search begins for a pattern. I ended up kinda following this pattern.
Although I have to cut corners cos I 'wing it' a lot. I didn't cut the first curve and left it oblong. When sewing, I left the hoods 'loose at the neck' so I didn't have to hand sew that part, after sewing right sides together I just turned the hems under and top-stitched it closed - after turning it inside out/right way round! If that sounds confusing - it was!
Sooooo after a few hours of head scratching I finally made it, Miss M tried it on and posed for me...She decided she could be a witch, or mother gothel (Tangled), or red riding hood, or she could be a princess...and that's just in 5 minutes! I'm sure it will be a cloak of many guises...Ta-Dah!
