Shopping Trips to ones' favorite Cloth Shop is BAD for the health. ^__^ Was shopping at my usual Chinese Cloth Shop at Arab Street when I came across this rough Wool Fabric (the one I usually labeled as Old Blanket type). Naughty self then gotten the fabric reserved for myself and 1 week later, have it lying on my bed. At least 9 more metres of it will be bought soon for the other cloaks.
So I have decide to use the fabric for both my Lothlorien March Warden Cloak (maybe a Haldir March Warden Costume coming up? -__^ ) and for a buncha other Fellowship Cloaks for the members of my LOTR Cosplay Group (Currently for Boromir and Sam).
Here're some scans of the fabric (better ones will come later) and a rough computer sketch I did of it. Will start making the paper patterns, mock-ups and actual cloaks very soon..

Just a rough drawing of the design to give a rough idea to myself; need a bit more tweening after doing the Mock-Up Paper Pattern. Am going to base my cloak on the one Julia had did for herself (Thank you soooooo much Julia for inspiring me ^__^ ).
| Pattern 2 (Fellowship Cloaks): | |
