Thanks for the thought Glenda. I'm not likely to see snow
anytimeever...but rain is a possibility and staying dry is really nice!

Hi Laurie,
I've used a woollen lining for a cloak I take with me to the winter
(sometimes snow) camps. It's been brilliant. I find that when water gets
through the outer wool layer on a cloak, it wicks through a linen lining
quite quickly, but the woollen lining gives a bit more protection.

I work for a museum. We have a grand total of 4 staff. We all wear so many hats
we can't keep track of them all. Personally, I'm responsible for the
collection, the exhibitions, all museum security, the desktop publishing,
supervising student fellows and work-studies, managing the climate con
Thanks to everyone who has commented thus far. I'm glad you liked the

there, I'm just a guest writer). I'd love it if you post to their

Both of these, alas, pretty much boil down to questions of money.

Thank you Marjorie. You made some good points about the slippery issue with
linings. Actually the first lining that I have cut is not at all slippery,
simply because I was trying to find something linen or linen-like in a
decent color. What I found is definitely not slippery, as linen would not
Had you considered that piecing is in fact "period?" There are many,
many examples of piecing throughout the centuries. I'd suggest the
best approach might be to see how wide the typical fabric _of_the_day_
(or area!) might be, and piece even if you don't "need" to! :)

Thank you Heather. Logically, that's about what I expected, but I just have
no references here to confirm that. I've cut one cloak and it's lining but
