The red cloak looks so wonderful in the snow. Thanks for sharing.
It's beautiful, and I think you did a brilliant job on it.
*I BOUGHT A CLOAK* in a second hand shop for a laugh - THEY ARE BRILLIANT - there is a reason the cloak was the "go to" outer garment of choice for like 1000 years...
Everyone should have a cloak, I now have 3. 2 "Loden" cloaks I bought and one I made myself.
Warning: this garment may make grandmothers reveal themselves as wolves!
OK but that red is so vibrant. I am way too tempted to make myself one of these. Next winter, maybe
It turned out beautifully! We all need more cloaks in our lives!
Great video! Smart commentary and fantastic project!
I love it! So cute, I would wear that all the time. I think I need to make one now.
I have a red coat similar to your one and I love it! A great job by the way! :)
Perfect for red riding hood too.
Also, super excited to see your regency dress.
I am sorry but could not catch the name of the book you referred to. Can you list it?
Yes! It’s Costume Close Up by Linda Baumgartner.
The video would be better if your camera was in front of you showing the length of the fabric and you, your hands and face. Any untrained seamstress would not fully understand how you marked and cut out.
👊 Promo-SM!!!
