Sewing Capes

The Great British Sewing Bee

I was goggled-eyed as the contestants of 'The Sewing Bee' attempted sewing capes, using wool material.  Back in the 1970's, my Mum made me a beautiful cape from fine plaid wool in shades of purple, navy and pink. It was perfect and I thought I was the bees knees!  Sorry about the pun...

It looked very like this orange one, I found for sale on Etsy.  Click on the picture to follow the link.
