Quick Piece

I was approached about making an "elven style" cloak for hunting/LARPing. I've made half a dozen cloaks but this is the first functional one I've made. 

      I bought some water resistant faux suede and some water resistant lining in the same earthy brown. I just happened to find a really neat clasp that matched the woodland theme. 

           I started by cutting the whole length of suede and lining into a giant semicircle. Then a pin-sew-bag turn to make the"body" of the cloak.

So.many.pins!

The hood was more complicated. To make it less ordinary, I pulled from the look of Assassin's Creed. It is difficult to photograph because the mannequin is a child size, but you get the idea. 

 

After attaching the hood to the body, I attached the toggles to the cloak just below the neck. I'm pretty happy at the finished product and I hope the client is as well!
