It’s finally done – or nearly done.
I ended up not putting the shoulder cape on at all. I also hand-stitched black twill tape around the front edge to prevent things from unraveling. I may also add it to the bottom if it seems to need it.
The clasp is inaccurate for the time. It was meant to be for a sweater, but I can’t find any ribbons in town, and I needed this done to wear to a special event next week. So, I added the clasp. Since there is so much that is inaccurate with this cloak already, and the clasp looks good, I may just leave it.
It does appear to be very warm, and I’ll be interested to see if it works as a winter coat this coming year.
