Looking to make a short cloak for historical wear (or even your modern wardrobe?) This two part sew along covers everything you need to get started!

We're using the official B&T Short Cloak Pattern (link below) but the construction techniques we'll be covering will work for any short cloak that is made out of broadcloth (silk gets put together a little bit differently.)

In Part 1 we discuss the context and history of the short cloak, cover materials and supplies, and then prep and cut our fabric.
