Two last cloaks

[janestarz]

This is what I've been working on last weekend:





I really love how the bias stripes turned out, and it made lining the cloak a lot simpler. *wink*
The blue roses cloak is even more awesome than this picture suggest. Because the lining is the same sky blue, the roses seem to be made of ice and are floating on the fabric. Really quite superb. I am really happy with how these turned out.

Last night I updated my inventory list so it's completely up to date. A lot of cloak clasps and patterns and brooches that I had bought earlier this year weren't on there.
I also packed the last crate of clothes. I won't have time to create any more large pieces, but I do hope to still make three musketeers hats from those hat bases I bought at McCulloch & Wallis (which were quite expensive).

Please note that we will not, like previous years, be in the Roman bathhouse. Instead we will be in the Forum tent. I have no idea where we will be exactly, so keep an eye out, the tent is usually quite busy.
I also expect to have a mobile pin in the stand, so you can pay electronically.

Counting down. No... really, really counting down.

The lined bias tape is a really nice touch.

I find both cloaks very beautifull in there simplicity. The fabrc realy makes them special.

I wonder, can you wear them on two sides?

You could in theory. The roses one will have a weird hem, since I let the hem loose. I hemmed lining and outside seperately.
The striped one is easier to wear either way, but your closure would still be on the wrong side.
