Pelican cloak- project completed
Posted by: Alysten on: October 3, 2011
This is the cloak for Bronwyn, elevated to the OP yesterday. The inspiration was a photograph of a stained glass church window. I was 1/2 of the creative team for this cloak. I built the applique and the physical cloak. All the beading on the birds were completed by Lady Caitrina Gordon- called Katya.
Project details:
- Purple cotton velvet- cartridge pleated caplet.
- Linen applique, in the form of stained glass.
Inspiration:
Step 1: Applique Pieces
Stage 2:Inked
Stage 3: Lead Lines
Stage 4: Outer Ring
Stage 5: Completed cloak
With the beading:

I cannot convey just how gorgeous this is in ‘person’. I could try ‘just bloody awesome’. I also cannot convey how grateful I am to be the recipient of this garment. Thank you so very much.

You are most welcome. I am very glad I could be a part of your day. I learned a lot by doing this project. Many tricks and hints that I will be able to pass on to other seamstresses. And you know what… If I were given the chance to do it all over again, I would. In a heart beat. Without even thinking twice.
Katya and I are a dynamic duo. I love that we were able to surprise you.
