Everything Under the Moon

This is my beautiful cloak that I made I am very proud and excited and my boyfriend can't get me to take it off SQUEEEE!!

I love it so much.
Here it is with the hood down:



And with the hood let out:



And the secret pockets I sewed in, exactly the right size for my Mystic Faerie Tarot Deck and Kitchen Witch Spoon:


And my favorite part, or one of my favorite parts, the clasp:


The pattern I used is McCalls' M4698. All fabrics were purchased at JoAnn Fabrics. This took about three days. I made a lot of mistakes and covered them up very well. The instructions are confusing.

Incidentally, the T-shirt I am wearing for these pictures,

which I designed based on the Tower tarot card at Autumn Equinox,

is for my boyfriend's band, THE TOWER, and they are cool and you should listen to them. http://www.reverbnation.com/WeAreTheTOWER

I love the hood folds all the way down like that. Nice colors and nice work.

Imma sucker for secret pockets... Awesome vervain! The cloak is great looking.

There was a girl in our group that used that pattern I just love it! That is absolutely gorgeous! Do you mind if I ask how expensive was the material you chose? I may have to make a new cape! Secret pockets are so cool...
thanks for sharing, Firebird

Thanks, all!

Firebird, I don't mind at all. The moss green crushed panne was regular $5/yd on sale for $2.50/yd, and the gold brocade was regular $10/yd on sale for $6/yd. The pattern called for 8 yards of each and I bought almost that much but definitely didn't need it all. I have enough left to make a matching bag and maybe a corset, we'll see.

Oh, wowzers, that's gorgeous!! You did such a wonderful job, vervain! And with secret pockets too? Beyond cool. Now, to take this inspiration and do something with it!

Gorgeous! That's crazy...I made a cape out of that exact same fabric (which, coincidentally, was also bought at JoAnn's). I have that same Tarot deck, as well!

Haha! Great witches think alike.


(That's not actually an -ism I stand by or really believe in, but if the shoe fits...)

That is so beautiful! Where did you find the pattern for it?

Lovely! You did a beautiful job!

Vervain hasn't been here in awhile but this is her pattern.

Thanks for the pattern! I'm not sure if it is within my sewing skills level. I can do simple patterns. I need to study it a bit. But I would LOVE a cloak like this! I really need to check it out.

Myrth!
Go for it!!
I'm sure you'll do a fine job.
I may do another as well...I have finally got my sewing machine fixed and it it works like new. Now to clear a space
Blessings upon your project
