looks good but I really wonder how much use it will get. Personally I would wear it throughout winter but some people consider my taste in clothes rather strange at times:)

Hi Fran, you are obviously a good seamstress to be doing so much sewing for your son's wedding. Your DH's cloak looks great but I was surprised that it took so much fabric. Thanks for providing the information on the hand fasting ceremony as I had never heard of this. I just love traditions such as this. On one side of my family I have no idea who my grandfather was, but I do feel strongly linked to Celtic music and art (I might just claim to have a Celtic ancestry anyway ... ), so it was very interesting to me to read that particular post.

You HAVE been busy, Fran! The cloak looks very authentic - I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures.
I also enjoyed reading about the handfasting ceremony - thanks for sharing!
