Long ago I had a roommate whose first name was the same as mine. Sharing a phone line - among other things - was an opportunity for humor. "Hello, is Wendy there?" "Um, can you be more specific?" Good times. Anyway, we don't even live in the same town anymore, but we're still friends. And on Valentine's Day this year the other Wendy got married. I wasn't able to attend, but I made my presence felt by sewing some of the clothing. It was an outdoor wedding at 12,000 ft. Some special outer-wear was called for.

It all starts with yards and yards of cloth. This is a nice warm fleece.

Then there's the lay out of the pattern pieces.

And the sewing it all together.

Until tah-dah! you find yourself with a pretty decent cape. back view.

And what's a wedding without a veil?

All packed up and ready to ship.

And here's the finished product. Doesn't she look amazing?
