However back to the brown cloak.
I have put shaping into it as I really like that now. There are two areas on this one. Buttocks and shoulders, both different styles so I could try both out. There seems to be no definite one way so it is interesting trying to decide when to put it in. And I am impatient so it makes the cloak shorter, anyway it's big enough. I have decided the best way of thinking about them is that you are putting in a bulge. Which is why they don't lie flat but they are snug when put on a person.
There are a couple of rows of tags at the top, with a row of longer feathers and then the fancy double pair twining like near the bottom. Am considering doing a couple of rows of Mawhitiwhiti before the turn, probably to put a tie through.
I have also packed up several of my kakahu to go north. I've been rolling them in sheet around a stuffed core. Seems to work wellas the feathers are all kept neatly down, though I don't know what to do if I had flicked up feathers.
