Celebuial - You get marks for making fashionable things? How is this judged though? The mind boggles... it was all about technique and design when I was at school. Surely though, your teacher ought to have realised just how big a market there is for alternative clothing out there? There are
always going to be people who want to buy medieval/elven style clothes!
Don't cheat with your cloak, they are so easy to make! All I would advise is
lots of room to cut the pattern as I had a nightmare with mine! Mine was made from pattern
9887 here and it's pretty simple, and moves nicely too. Though I
did cheat and buy another when I saw a nice double sided cloak, as that would be
too difficult to make for me!
