Correct Length. How to choose the Correct Length for your Cloak or Cape. Often, people make the mistake of ordering cloaks too long. In the past, women generally wore cloaks ankle length and men mid-calf, and both could wear them floor length.Today, men and women can wear them at whatever length is desired.ength is NOT the same as your height! Another trick to getting the length correct is to take your height in inches (lets say you are 6' tall, that's 72) and subtract 12 for a floor length cloak, or 15 for ankle length and 18 for mid-calf. Easy and accurate!
The length of the binding strips needs to equal the length plus the width of your quilt times two plus 12 inches. Sew the ends of your strips together to form one long strip. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, working a few inches at a time, and press the fold with a hot iron to make your entire strip one inch wide. Place the raw edges of one end of binding along the raw edges of one side of the quilt. The bind should rest directly on the quilt top. Pin the binding to the quilt down the side. Start sewing a 1/4-inch seam three inches from the end of the binding. Sew all the way down the side until you reach the corner. Stop sewing 1/4-inch from the corner and pull the quilt from the machine.
