I'd cut out the front and back pieces, but not the collar, and cut them 1-2" shorter than the fashion fabric. Sew them together and hem, then put them inside the cape, matching your sideseams. Finish by hiding the raw edge in the front under the placket. Actually, you may want to cut a facing of the plaid unless you don't mind the lining showing in the center front. You'll have to trace the front pieces and cut a strip 3" or so wide, then sew onto lining.

But then when I got the pattern, to my dismay it is UNLINED! Daahhh!! It's friggen wool, c'mon!!<br /><br />See my fabric choices on my Flickr - EmmylouLily<br /><br />Do you have any recommendations for how I could go about lining this? Especially since I want to do the belted version? I shudder just thinking of those belt holes....<br /><br />Any tips or direction would be greatly appreciated!<br /><br />Thanks Suzannah!
