I started working on my cloak again. About four or five years ago I bought the pattern and fabric, and cut out all the pieces then it got stashed in the back of my closet. This is going to be a lesson in persistance. The fabric is a very pretty dark green, fake crushed velvet that stretches and scrunches and curls in on itself. And I'm afraid of sewing machines so I'm doing it all by hand. Maybe I'll have it done by the Harry Potter party Friday night!
