Jennifer shaw said... Thanks Ann! I made the cape version a few years ago for winter. I am eager to see how yours turned out! 7/11/04 8:23 PM
Ann B. said... Ann, thanks for the review. I actually had this pattern in my hand on Saturday, for view B. I did not take it home, but after this review, I think I'll pick it up. Have you tried getting in and out of a car with it on yet? I am curious if you have the mobility to drive wearing it, or is it a wrap that you might wear just walking into a swishy do? 7/11/04 8:47 PM
PVA said... Thanks for the review, I'm looking forward to the photo. I love the high drama of a cape, but I'm always afraid I'll look like I was swallowed-up by a bolt of fabric! One of these days, I'm going to just go for it! 7/12/04 0:12 AM
Asa Hagstrom said... Looks very elegant! Is there no kind of fastening at all? 7/12/04 8:46 AM
KitnRose said... I love the look of capes. Thanks for the review! It lookes very elegant. Great use of the fabric! 7/12/04 9:41 AM
GorgeousFabrics said... Asa, there is no fastening on this cape. You just throw one frontpiece over the opposite shoulder and strut your stuff :). Ann you do have mobility, but I'll have to report back in cooler weather on how it is to driv with it on. Definitely fine for a swishy do! -Ann 7/12/04 10:01 AM

PhyllisC said... Ann - did you make also make one of your fabulous coordinating bags? Cape are lovely but they really seem to need a nice handbag - shoulder bags just ruin the look. 7/12/04 10:21 AM
Teri said... Ann, that is just lovely. 7/12/04 10:50 AM
Katharine in BXL said... Nice cape! It looks regal. Phyllis is right. Sharpen your scissors? That would look lovely with a Vogue fall bag pattern. 7/12/04 11:54 AM
els said... Very elegant English style cape. 7/12/04 1:16 PM
CatherineN said... That fabric is a wonderful, unusual find. You can literally wrap yourself in its lovely warmth. 7/12/04 2:27 PM
Annette H said... Flowing lines and really elegant. My only worry would be preventing it from falling off the shoulder. I guess you might have to practice? 7/12/04 4:51 PM
Gigi Louis said... Oh Ann, how beautiful! I just love the drama of a cape. 7/12/04 4:55 PM
CarolynGM said... What a lovely cape and a great idea to make one. I keep an old fleece cape in my office to wrap myself in when the climate control is malfunctioning (often). I should make one of these replace it! 7/12/04 5:27 PM
Rennie Ashby said... So sophisticated, yet deceptively simple. Hmmm! This gives me ideas for a wide 3 thread serger decorative edge project for a class, now that I'm going to be teaching. 8/2/04 8:25 PM
