Custom made cloaks


This custom made cloak is reversible in the hot pink and orange. The fabric was a funny spandex polyester and I had some problems sewing it. I tried so many different needles and setting on my machine. I had to sew most of it 2 or 3 times because it just wasn't sewing right. I think it turned out great and I love the colors.

Custom made cloaks




I just finished nine custom made cloaks. This first one is a hip length white panne velvet. It has a lined hood, ties at the neck, and two inches of gold trim. I had a problem deciding how to put the gold on. I finally cut the cloak two inches shorter and then sewed the right sides together. It flipped down and then I top stitched it. I'll be listing the other 8 in all the cool fabrics in the next week.
