Forest cloak for a small child (3 to 6 years old) pure wool.

[Toddy]

The clear out of my workroom continues

This is a toffee coloured melton wool. It was expensive and originally bought for an 18th century outfit. I had just over a metre left and have made a little circular cloak with a hood and pockets, that fastens safely with a velcro 'button' tab. It measures 55 cms from the back neck to the hem.

£30 delivered if paid by paypal or bank transfer, or £25 if you come and collect it.

I'm very pleased with this little cloak, and the neighbouring 4 year old who I tried it on when I was sorting out the hood and fastening, loved it However, she wouldn't be wearing her cloak near campfires and this one being pure wool will not flare so she might get one out of velvet instead

The cloak is warm, relatively showerproof, safe near open flames, fires and stoves, easy to put on (and will hopefully pull free if snagged on a branch, without choking the child) and fun to wear. I have it draped over a 30" oval quilting hoop.

Velcro 'safety' fastening button.

cheers,
Toddy

... When I read the title of this post in list of new posts I thought you'd branched out in a new trade Mary as the 'Forest Cloak' was missing

Tis a lovely looking cloak but sadly I don't have any grandchildren old enough for it.

Honestly, you'd think by now that I'd get a title clear For Sale...small child....

Fixed it, but the photo uploading is dire

The 90 year old Uncle had an accident with his scooter thingie and has broken his arm and is in hospital. I'm not up to concentrating on much, so it'll be small things for a bit I reckon

atb,
Mary

It is a bit of a distance

Would you like a sample of the cloth ?

I had hoped to come down to the Moot, and this cloak was one of the ones I had made to bring with me. I'm pretty sure I won't make it this year and I need the space in my workroom.

cheers,
Toddy
