Making the Klingon Vest/Cloak

Please note:  This page is still under construction.  Not all sections are complete including the directions.

There are too many graphics for construction techniques, patterns, and styles to be in one file.  So the article is broken into managable chunks, although some parts are still going to be a slow load.

Part 1- The over all pattern, chosing construction options, and a clear line drawing of the standard vest. 

Part 2 - Making the padded front pannel of the vest, and pocket patterns and construction techniques.

Part 3 -Attaching the side to the front pannel, creating the padded upper back shoulder section.
