I've decided to make a Korowai

So I'm going to make a Korowai. I started going to korowai classes early last year, but things happened and I couldn't complete the class. I'm making one at home and hopefully learnt enough from the few classes to peice one together by myself.



For those of you who dont know what a korowai is, its a Maori cloak with feathers woven into it. Here is an example.







Mine will only be one colour and I'm making a mini one, so it wont matter as much if I stuff it up.



Here is the beginnings of my Korowai

Pink Anda

Last year I made an Anda dress from a pattern on http://www.burdastyle.com/ . This looked like a sack with a rope around it...GROSS!!! So here I altered the pattern a bit by adding tucks to the front and back, and lowering the neckline. Sewed some ruffle fluff I had left over from a pettiskirt onto the neckline, around the sleeves and around the hemline.

So, I think I will use the Anda pattern again, but never the original!!!
