Winter Cloak
We give, this month, for our popular department, "How to Make One's Own Dresses," a pattern for a fashionable winter cloak, just received from Paris. The above engraving represents this graceful cloak when made up. On the next page is a diagram, by which to cut out the cloak, as follows:
No.1. Part Of Front.
No. 2. Part Of Back.
No. 3. The Shoulder Piece.
No. 4. Part Of Sleeve.
No. 5. The Hood.
The front is so long that we cannot give the whole of it. It must be,
as marked in the diagram, thirty-seven inches long in front; and twenty-five
inches, on the side, measuring from the arm-hole down. Neither can we give
the whole of the back, but from D down it should be thirty-three inches long,
and from K down, twenty-five inches. The shoulder piece and hood are given
entire. To cut out the sleeve (the top of which is from E to A A) project
downward from A A and H till the lines meet.
In putting it together, join A and C of the front to A and C of the shoulder
piece. Join A and M of the back to A and M of the shoulder piece; and
plait from M. to B of the back to M to B of the shoulder piece. To put in
the sleeve, join E of the sleeve to E of the front, and A A of the sleeve to A
of the front.
