Simplicity Cloaks

Post by Willrett »

Check your local walmart, if you plan on making a cloak soon. At one of my walmart I found the 2 piece cloak patterns for 1.99.

Hey Will, could you post the pattern number so we can look up which one you're talking about?

If that is the one with the wizard, Nazgul, Galadriel and quasi strider on it, it is a great pattern I have it and have used it!

Yeah it's got a new number it's not 0820 anymore

http://www.simplicity.com/p-2620-misses ... tumes.aspx

It's 9887

Matter of fact even a search doesn't come up with 0820 for a pattern number that I can find at all

I want to say that my brown cloak was one of these; I might need to pick up the pattern so I can craft something a bit more durable!

I've made a lot of poor-fitting cloaks in my life.
Then my daughter gave me her cloak as a birthday present (she hated it) and I found the secret!

you actually need to cut the thing to fit your shoulders! a round cloak doesn't drape well.
When you lay it out, folded front over back, you find that the cloak isn't exactly a half0circle, there are bulges that fit your shoulders.

I used that for a pattern and made a well-fitting cloak for summer.
I'll try to remember to draw a pattern when I get home.
Those who give up a little freedom in place of a little security will soon discover that they possess neither.
