In the middle of working with lots of lamé, been dreaming of one of these lindsey thornburg capes.

They are priced at $1000 which is way out of my budget, but Pendleton offers the exact same blanket weight fabric by the yard here.

McCall’s has a similar cape pattern.

The Pendleton Fabric would total about $275, plus another$30 for a high quality silk lining, and maybe another $10 for a nice button closure. I really want to do this, will probably have to wait for some Christmas funds.

Hi! I just found your blog. I love what you do. I also sew and knit. If you want, check out my blog. I’ll be following you 🙂
Cheers,

Thank you! I LOVE the baby knits on your site 🙂
that is one awesome cape and if you can do it, you will have it forever (pendleton wool = indestructible) with a saving of 700 bucks or so. nice.
now, pretty please, halloween pictures of robby as thor (and you as loki).
I discovered this cape a couple of days ago, and have been dreaming about it ever since! I love the fact that the hood is combined with a shawl. A simple, black one might last forever. 🙂
totally agree! the original is on sale for $312! http://www.shopbop.com/mini-cloak-jacket-lindsey-thornburg/vp/v=1/845524441881628.htm?fm=search-shopbysize
Auch! It’s still quite expensive! I’m thinking of making one myself, in wool, but of course… summer is coming up.
Still, I’m making one.
