A COMPLETE COURSE IN DRESSMAKING
Next baste the ribbon streamers to the wrong side of the front edges at the neck and sew the lining to the outside of the front edge, placing the lining with the right side next to the right side of the cape. Stitch down the fronts a seam's width from the edge and across the neck edge one inch. (See Fig. 54.)

Turn the cape right side out. Turn up the lower edge a seam's width and press it. Then fell the lining over it as in Fig. 55. To refresh your memory refer to instructions on felling in Lesson I.
Making the Hood for the Cape: Lay the two pieces of the hood together and stitch around the outer edges. (See Fig. 56.) Turn the hood right side out. Press and run in two gathering threads a half inch edge as in Fig. 57.
Gather the lower edge of the hood and baste it to the neck edge of the outside of the cape—laying the hood with the outisde next to the outside of the cape and with the neck edges even. (See Fig. 58.) Now turn under the raw edge of the lining and fell it over the raw edges of the neck. (See Fig. 59.)
