Capote Making with Leela Lizotte

From the 2020 Alberta Culture Days

[@teddysmooth267]

where can i find this capote pattern?

[@louisasmiles]

You simplified and kept this video easy to follow so idiots like me can understand. Thank you so much. Beat video out there

[@generalstrike7187]

This is a fantastic video! I have seen lots of capote patterns and instructions, before but they didn't explain the way that blanket stitching is used, like you did. The finished article is just wonderful!

[@blueskeleton7744]

You made a gorgeous coat! Your teaching skills will make it easier for my 1st time trying to create my own. I am Native American of the Navajo Nation. Raised in the Pacific northwest, I currently live in Colorado. I've always wanted to own my own Capote only to lounge in my home during the winters. I will practice first with other cheaper wool blankets, but itll come to making one like you did with quality wool to work with. Thank you for a great tutorial video.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

You did a fantastic job cutting out and making your own Capote, like you it is a beautiful work of art. Thank you so much . Fred.

[@kvonzwild8979]

Outstanding. The Bush craft community would go crazy for this. It seems relatively simple yet very functional. Your tutorial was great. My guess is you make it look easier than it is and your delivery and style made it look that way. Makes me want to try it.

[@specialkyt]

Excellent and creative! You made it look so easy, and this comment is coming from a person that has no sewing skills whatsoever.😊

[@timwarneka5681]

Well done, young miss! Thank you for posting this video.

[@elainedoucette3357]

Do you have any (approximate) measurements for this men's size 44

[@jenniferjohnston3941]

Link for the pattern? What size of blanket is this? Thanks so much.

[@samTollefson]

Thank you for the great video! I have an old Hudson's Bay point blanket that was my grandmothers that was born in 1869. My father who was born in ND told me these were prized by people in that cold country for their warmth even if they got wet. I have long thought about making a jacket or capote out of it, but I wonder if I would be dishonoring it by cutting it up.

[@eruseanfighterpilot]

Where did you buy the blanket? I'm planning on trying to make a Capote myself

[@LaVaqueraMarin]

THAT IS GREAT!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@MoneyChallengeswithNendz]

Awesome.. thanks so much.. where can I order the pattern?

[@MoneyChallengeswithNendz]

Or can you tell us the measurements please 😊

[@robertfitzkee3862]

Where can I buy these blankets at. And where can I get the pattern at to try to make one of these. I've been wanting one of these coats can you please help me with this

[@bunkerman99]

I wish I could get youn to make me one. Cheers, good video and well thought out.

[@ritaconley9544]

You made such a beautiful capote. Thank you for making this video. Where did you get this pattern and your blanket?

[@davelantz2318]

Fantastic video but how does one make the pattern?

[@landrecce]

This video was so incredibly helpful! Very appreciated!

[@andrealoughry5512]

Thank you so much for your wonderful instructions. I had a dodgy pattern from the internet, and I don't think my capote would have been successful without your help, but it turned out beautifully!

[@jeffsheyn970]

You make it look so easy!!! Love this video

[@odelloutdoors3424]

[@PapaTony165]

This was terrific! Loved your direction and ideas. I am going to have to try to make one. Hope it comes out half as nice as your finished product. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@HookinandSwinginOutdoors]

Where can I get the pattern?

[@MamikeMamike-mw8zc]

Beautiful of you

[@tomsmith5216]

Will a 60"x90" blanket be large enough for a size 44 man?

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Lela, we love how simple your pattern is. Do you have a pattern that you could share? We have bought 3 and they are a mess to understand. Thank you; Jaime H Ogden, Utah USA.

[@tiffanyjohnson8271]

[@diehardsandman]

You Rock! Thanks for the video! I have seen this in old outdoor magazines. I have always want to make one.

[@RonaldBarcomb-tn7wq]

Wonderful skills,great job !!

[@8626John]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

[@Delmarvellous]

Fantastic! I’ve been wanting one for years but could never figure out where to buy one. Now I can (in theory) MAKE one!

[@MelanieMcKenna]

Thank you for making this video. I am planning on making a capote and it had some very important info I hadn't found, particularly how to attach the hood. I also didn't know the tails on the hood were to tie it tight around the neck. Makes sense now, I thought they were for decoration.

[@possummerinofelt]

Great instructional video, thank you

[@jayj4142]

Where is the pattern???????????????

[@Yasandr]

What a great video you have made. The capote is wonderful and so beautifully finished! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@TJPisano151]

Awesome job !!! Very impressive work !

[@seantierney3]

I am making my first one. your video is the most helpful for a beginner that I have found. thank you

[@ivyliterocway2731]

Wonderful video. Do you have a link so that I can buy the pattern?

[@teresajulian9571]

Awesome video. You make it look so easy but for sure took awhile.

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

Awesome project. Makes me feel that I could almost make one myself

[@steadynumber1]

Thank you Leela, this video details all the elements for making a blanket coat in your own easy going style. As I write this in the new year may it bless you & all your viewers with happiness & plenty.

[@wendyfarmer4860]

That's awesome. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[@bellyQBE]

[@theoriginalquinnpiper]

Very helpful video - thank you!

[@Sm-ne8ff]

Awesome tutorial thank you so much, stay warm

[@Longshot88mason]

Leela you did an excellent job of managing the pieces as you went. This enhanced your instruction: it was always easy to see where in the construction process you were and to imagine how it was coming together. Nice!

[@gmr1241]

Brilliant video! Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@rosshaagsma5981]

Thank you very much. Great Coat. You made it look so easy.

[@gooddaytodyi]

That looks awesome!

[@katherinehammes7173]

Great job!

[@marcusaetius9309]

Nice!

[@Jimmy47904]

Hi, what kind of yarn did you use. I got some hemp yarn thinking it would stronger but it was really thin.

[@Delmarvellous]

100% wool yarn isn’t as sturdy as wool blend, therefore maybe it’s better to use a blend?

[@Fuser-wx7cq]

Awesome job!

[@rustyholt6619]

sooo cool and so warm ,,,

[@EJCouch]

Good job. Looks amazing
