Quote:The trapezoidal cloak should be thought of as "half" a hexagon, so it is essentially a semi-circular cloak, except, and this is the critical point, it would be far easier and more economical to construct on a loom.So where do you pin it? I'm still not sure that I see how this works.
I just cut mine out and it drapes just like the art examples.
One thing, some patterns/costumes pages show the tablion on the angled edge. That is dead wrong, it is on the straight edge and drapes just perfectly, forming the rhomboid shape with the point heading at a diagonal towards the left, just like the numerous examples in art.
