Sooper Sekrit project #2 reveled

[alysten]

I was asked to make a cloak for lily_penhille 's elevation to the Order of the Pelican. I was very touched and honored to be able to be a part of the occasion.  She was elevated at Roses.  Finally, I can post the pictures of the project. :D




Cloak details:

• 1/2 circle cloak of lightweight dark blue wool, lined in dark red linen. Cloak is 1/2 length with a period stand up collar.
• Embroidered pelican badge done in Cotton Pearl, using stem stitch, laid/couched stitch, split stitch, couched basket weave
• Embroidered badge attached to the cloak in gold work using detached buttonhole stitch.
• Collar is whipped stitched onto cloak.
• Internal seams were machine sewn.
• White linen fleur-de-lys appliques gold worked using detached buttonhole, stitch
• Gold work running stitch along seam lines for hand sewn finish details.
• Gold fleur-de-lys frog clasps to complete the closures

Thanks.

I use front spiral lacing. Though some of the roks shown in the book use front buttons.
