There have been times when my costumes have been changed after I've finished and turned them in, because the pattern pieces were too large or the sewing too complicated to explain in the limited space ... Martha McCain can tell you even more on this topic!
I wanted this pattern to be a cape and also a cloak with large sleeves, so I had to be very creative how I went about doing this. The secret is in the curious angled yoke seam.
So this is my chance to explain that seam and tell you how to eliminate it, if you want.
