An Angler’s 
Shoulder Poncho 
A SMALL raincape to cover the shoul¬ 
ders and extend not much below the 
elbows will often add to the comfort 
of a fishing or camping trip. Such a gar¬ 
ment is easily fashioned. 
Get two yards of 5 or 6-ounce close- 
woven khaki, costing about 30 cents a yard. 
Cut and sew it together as indicated on' 
the accompanying diagram. Allow a little 
for seams, in cutting. The seam across 
the center should be a lap seam composed 
of the selvedges. The edges at the cir¬ 
cumference are hemmed. After basting 
the halves together by hand, have the 
seams and edges finished on a sewing- 
machine. The completed cape is 36 inches 
back to front, by 44 inches wide. 
The center slit for head and shoulders 
is 12J/2 inches long, and is i6}4 inches 
from the front edge of the cape. It is 
reinforced by an extra piece of goods 3 
inches wide, sewed on the inside of the 
Ideal for that rainy day 
cape (shown in illustration). The edges, 
of this piece and of the cape at the slit 
are turned in and sewed together. 
Corresponding to this reinforcing piece,, 
but slightly larger, and sewed along but 
one edge—and half-way across at the ends 
—is the collar, 3E2 inches deep at the cen¬ 
ter and 4 inches at the ends. It is fastened 
to the outside of the cape as indicated by 
the dotted line. The arm straps, fastened 
at the edges on the under side, should be 
loose enough not to bind. 
When the sewing together is completed, 
melt pound of shavings of paraffine 
in a tin vessel (placed in a second vessel 
containing boiling water) and mix it thor¬ 
oughly with one pint of turpentine. Allow 
the whole to remain in the hot water bath, 
while applying it with a clean paint-brush 
to the outside of the cape. Dry the cape in 
the air. It will show streaky, but you can 
drive the paraffine into the cloth fiber and 
distribute it evenly by smoothing out the 
garment and pressing it with a hot iron.
