Almost there - the cape

Had to buy a new sewing machine, couldn't get the old one repaired.

I have the lining pieces sewn together, the collar attached to the body and the lining is sewn to the outer cloth. It's currently hanging for the night before I press the seams and close the slit that allows me to turn it inside out. I have a fur hook for the closure for the cape. I'll see about a photograph in the morning.

Next up is the hat... my search through my remnants didn't bring up anything suitable for this hat, so I acquired some other pieces of red fabric that nicely coordinate with the brick red wool.
