Here is my finished short cloak. It is from some New Look Simplicity pattern that has a plaid cloak picture on the front.
The fabric is so beautiful. I lined it with maroon flannel. mmm so cozy….And the clasp is a diamond with Celtic knot designs on it (one small hearkening to medieval costuming).
The front flapped open a bit and I’m wearing it a bit crookedly, but here it is:
And yesterday Samuel was at work all day, so I decided to make a shirt to pass the time. I used some striped fabric that I’d meant to use for pants, but it turned out that there wasn’t quite enough for that. The fabric is really nice, I am not sure what it is since I got it from my Grandma’s closet, but I think it is some kind of wool/silk or wool/cotton blend. It feels like wool, but it is really shiny and smooth. I used buttons that my mother-in-law gave me for a Christmas present (she went through her button collection and gave me an assortment of pretty buttons).
And just for fun, here is a picture of my hair in a bun.
