Hi! There is thist scene in the ROTK, where Legolas is standing at night at edoras and looking afar and Aragorn joins him. The elf has the hood of his cloak...
... Hi, Yes, I know the scene. Leggy's hood is a little bit different from the others: it's a touch shorter (and therefore looks 'squat') than the others...
Thanks a lot. So you think it actually is a rectangular pattern similar to the one you showed me at alleycatscratch.com? But shorter? I tried a half circle...
... the hood is a kite shape pattern, not a rectangular. And when it's ready to be attached to the cloak you change the 'folding' (instead of holding it by the...
... Excellent!! yes, it is an ECU of the shoulder area of the 3rd Age Elves that Haldir brought to Helms Deep. One thing to particularly notice is the little...
... yup, the buckle is Elven. and you're corrent it has nothing to do with Merry. What confused people is that the grey wool cloak part looks like the...
... All correct, except that it can't be Haldir's armor - he wore a red cloak while everyone else wore grey. But yes, it is 3rd Age Elf armor. Very good! -Judy...
Thanks a lot. I see what you mean. Good idea, trying it with paper first. But if any of you does have a pattern with size measurements, i would be glad....

Comment first...I watched ROTK last night again, and am anxious to make more elven garb...maybe after I get moved - all my fabric is packed!! ... Now the...
Does anyone have any experience with the perming silk instructions located here: http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/makingem/Tips/CrushSilk.htm I tried it...
... oh not necessarily. That's pretty common for cloaks. It's also one reason why many of the cloaks in the movie actually have shoulder harnesses to keep them...
for cloaks for every day or convention wear 3/4 circle will give you a more comfortable fit, and move the clasp down from the neck a bit, helps the choking...
As I mentioned previously, I purchased a yard of the raspberry-colored Venice lace for the Chase dress collar, to see if I could remove the raspberry color &...

Greetings! I just dragged out the lovely, stretchy cotton gauze "Arwen" gown I made two years ago, to refit it: hopefully by 7/20 for the Harry Potter shindig...
**snip** ... Anytime you change the armhole area you'll be in "trouble" with the sleeve cap fitting properly. The good thing is you are reducing in size. Now...
... yup, cotton gauze will do that. It's a real b!tch to work with and you'll never get a tightish fit with it - main reasons why I won't work with it unless...
