Capes, capelettes, hoods, Japanese dobukus are all simple garments that work well for cold weather. There is investiture and twelfth night coming up in December and January and you want to keep warm. For Sundays in November and December, we plan to work on winter outdoor garments. This is a group effort for folks to come and work. The first two Sundays will be at my house, 1105 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, 15232. Sewing starts at 2pm and goes until 5pm (or so). Wool is a nice period warm fabric, but some fleece looks reasonably period and is fairly inexpensive and warm. There are sewing machines available. Come make something to keep you warm.
