Finishing Touches

[hsifeng]

All cords and tassels are done... now I just need to form the aglets over the ends of the point ties and take photos!

Hopefully this weekend...

Yay progress!

[hsifeng]

Yes! Although final bits on the cloak were *not* done due to copious yard work having to be finalized instead.

Still, yard work done = yeah!

There are no losers in yard work!

[hsifeng]

Well, a couple trees lost (branches); but they are better off for it! :D

Wait, there's more capey goodness coming?!?!

[hsifeng]

There is! But sadly not after this past weekend, since we ended up cleaning out the backyard and trimming our fruit trees with our spare time rather than making aglets. :P

At least you could leave the house. Our temps were in the single digits (when they weren't in the negative numbers). I spent the weekend huddled under covers drinking hot cocoa!

This has been the problem with venturing into my sewing space all winter! In fact, it was *warmer outside* than it was in my house/cave for much of the weekend.

:P

Cloak ties

You have done a wonderful job on the cloak. This is just what my husband wants me to make him. I was wondering how you tie the hood to the cape. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Re: Cloak ties

The hood is tied to the body of the cloak by a series of 'points' (fingerlooped ties that are actually sewn to the cloak body); the hood has a corresponding ring (small brass, 1/3" diameter) for each set of ties.
