Coco Capelet & Skirt


 I found this violet tweed boucle wool fabric and loved it.  This is the second hooded capelet that I have made from this violet fabric.  This one has pockets, button and hook & eye closure too. 


To make the skirt I used a pencil tweed skirt that fits me perfect and used that as a pattern.
I kept the selvages at the bottom of the skirt and stitched above because I like the darker contrast.
                                                        


    This is the hood.

   
       I wore this on a cold night when we took the family to dinner at our favorite restaurant Sagres!


The hood is warm for our cold Vancouver nights!
