From Green to Blue

Green cloak update! From green to blue!
Change of plan! I have other, more urgent things to do before I have time to fix the 9 little holes on my new green cloak which I asked for help with this week, but yesterday a friend alerted me to Reverse Garbage which had an enormous amount of blue wool curtains.
I now have 19 metres of wool tent lining, which will have the trio of white dots added (but not for this event), this beautiful long semi-circular mantle and loads left for curtains or other things!
Timewise, this one is just a neckline reinforcing and brooches sewn on and it's finished! No long inside seams to join or sew flat. I'll wear it unhemmed and see how it goes. The selvedge runs up the front sides, so that doesn't need hemming. Best of all, my Lorifactor brooches look amazing on it!!!! The green cloak can just be mended later and patching or felting or darning just won't matter as much!
