A lot depends on what kind of life the capes are going to have. If you're
making them for 8 year-old boys to wear for soccer practice that's one
thing. If you are making them for only a gentle outing, you know, you could
just glue the fur on. There are some very serious fine glues available now
and it would be so (sew) much easier. Polly
