  The Three Musketeers Capes Created November 2012 See all of the capes in this picture.  I made ALL of them.  They weren't hard, there were just so many... Thirteen in total... I think. The Reds are made from twill microsuede with satin jacquard crosses on the fronts and backs.  The pattern called for these capes to be lined, but lining wasn't in the budget so all of the raw edges has to have rolled hems.  Seriously, that's what took the longest... oh... and cutting out crosses -- which are just heat and bonded to the fabric.   The Blue cape is the one the Musketeers give to D'Artagnan at the end of the show... when good ole' Darty becomes an official Musketeer.  The sad thing, it's only on stage for 5 minutes, but it's kind of a showpiece so it had to be special.  So it's made from blue velvet with gold sateen lining.  The cross is the same as the Reds -- white satin jacquard -- which was appliqued on.

Suck it, Blues!!!  There's a little nod to all of you Red Vs. Blue fans out there... For those not in the know, RvB is a webseries based on the Halo game franchise... it's pretty hilarious, but the language is in abundance so viewers be warned. Google it if you wanna watch it, though. Anyway, so in one of my previous blogs, I gave you a little hinty hint about my next project... Perhaps I should have said PROJECTS...  hmm.... I wonder how to count this one... do I count each one as a project or do I count it as one BIG project... and how does it count if its the same task over and over... HAHA! Perhaps I should explain what it is!!! So, I'm doing contract work for my college's theater department and the next show is Three Musketeers .  In most traditional interpretations, the Musketeers are in Blue capes and the soldiers are in Red... I'm in charge of making the Red Capes.  OOH! I'm gonna call them Red Caps!!!  Like in Harry Potter!!! Well, I'm...
