Mac I drafted this pattern my self. Most of the commercial capote patterns are for very late 19th century styles. This is a late 18th century style, think 1790-1800. I modified a man's waistcoat pattern from JP Ryan patterns, based upon original capotes from that time period and paintings from the time. The front of the capote overlaps almost armpit to armpit, so the chest has 2 layers of wool over it. Very warm.

Great job Mr Snow and she has the poses down pat, great pics!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Waiting for the mittens from the left-overs of that blanket to appear.
Very good job.
What are some of the prices of wool blankets going for down there.? VG and maybe some with slight stains? HBC blanket 4 point; are there any Eaton's ones there? I have no idea what HBC blankets are going for. This was on off brand, made in Ohio blanket. About 4 point size, we got it for $30. I am definitely not knowledgeable about the blanket market. As to mittens, she knits a lot and has several pairs of knitted, then fulled mittens that she loves.
