I made the single cloak out of some leftover black wool (last minute project!) and was very satisfied with the results. Instead of putting trim along the edge, I made a machine hem along the bottom and a hand hem along the sides. I used a hook and eye closure, but changed it later for a pewter Norwegian clasp. The men’s vest is a breeze; I completed the main part in one evening! It fits well and looks very nice. Rachel is wearing the cloak that she made in one image. Steve is wearing the vest that Rachel made in the other.
