It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping.

Burdastyle Wool Navy High Neck Cape with Gold Irish Buttons
Marusya
Handmade Anagrassia long Navy Wool Tailored Cape Coat Jacket with high collar and gold irish buttons. Notre dame football tailgates. Burdastyle sewing pattern.

Here is anoth­er adult cape I made this season. This cape was made with 100% wool and gold Irish buttons. I used Bur­dastyle’s 9/2015 #115 sewing pattern. The only change I made to the pat­tern were the place­ments of buttons/buttonholes. I also hand-stitched all the edges/hems of the cloak, instead of adding piping/bias tape trim. This cape is very warm and per­fect for Notre Dame foot­ball tail­gates & games in the fall!...

She chose the Bur­dastyle pat­tern (8/2014 #124) and tan (almost cham­pagne) wool cashmere. It’s a tai­lored cape, so I used bespoke tai­lor­ing tech­niques for the lapels. The com­bi­na­tion of soft, thick, and (some­what)...
