My friend Pat wore a most magnificent cape when we were together a few months ago. I was totally captivated by it and asked if I could borrow it to make a pattern similar to it. Well, the holidays got in the way, and I didn't finish (or even really start) it until yesterday! But here it is:
Most of the edges are either selvedge or finished with a silk rolled hem, which I stitched on my serger before dyeing, so there are only the shoulder seams to be sewn after dyeing. I love it! Here I'm auditioning the shoulder seam threads, which are visible after construction is complete
This is Salsa's back
Valentines:
I spent a lot of time yesterday screening silks for Valentines. Some are done on habotai, but the ones above are all done on hand-dyed silk organza that has been screened over and over again. They will be on sale At The Collective beginning this Friday.

That is really yummy!
Your Salsa is fabulous Judy. Your friend will be delighted. Well done!
Salsa is hot! (Channeling my inner Paris Hilton.);-) I can imagine swirling into a room and feeling elegant in the cape. Pat will love it, I am sure. The Valentines are beautiful. Hope you're having a great day.
Salsa is just stunning! And I love, love, love your Valentines, they look frameable. XXOO
