I wouldn't call this especially magical when you have a lot of curve hemming to do, but it is relatively easy to make. Originally published in a 1930's edition of Fashion Service magazine (I don't remember which one), published by the Women's Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences.
If you make one, let me see!
PERFECT is right. I was looking for this exact pattern type. THANK YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much.....this is just what my elderly, bed-ridden mother-in-law needs this winter. You made my day!!
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could make this is today's fleece for a really cozy jacket!
ReplyDeleteTo add to that you could finish the raw edges with a wide blanket stitch rather than hemming. Close with a button and tab or ties. Patterned fleece would look good. Good idea for quilt groups looking for a nursing home charity project.
DeleteWhy does everyone think this is only for old ladies?? I am making this for myself to throw on my shoulders, since my office is in the basement. A cape is a lot faster to put on and take off than anything with sleeves. Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI just want to say thank you. I have a friend who recently lost both of her legs and I have been looking for something like this. All I could fine was a ponchos, shawls or long capes. She said her shoulders get chilled but everything is to long. I wanted something pretty and comfortable. She's going to love it bless you! I'm going to make one tonight and take it to her tomorrow.
