Working out a Capelet Pattern

We are enjoying the cooler weather - and having fun with plaid flannel - and a pretty winter berry print by Waverly - trying out a capelet pattern we recently picked up. The construction of side panels is nice, it allows the cape to hang nicely over the shoulders, but it made creating a lining tricky.

Whigs & Tories still needs to make this once or twice more to work out the kinks in attaching the lining. Once We have it straight a cape will go for $60.00 on Etsy and a little more in the local shops we work with (we have to cover their mark-up) if you are want a cape and you are willing to be one of our experiments we will only charge you for the fabric & clasp: $25.00 send an email to us.
