How to Make a Capote

Here is a link to instructions on making a capote, authentically. 

Of course, you can always use any type of blanket like material.  And, if time is important, get a few sisters to help your boys sew on a machine.  I can cut and sew two to three capotes in a mutual with a sewing machine and assistance from the boys.  One person with experience using a sewing machine and limited experience sewing something could do their first during a mutual.  There really is limited cutting, fitting and sewing.

They are so easy, even a mountain man could do it!!!!

Scout On!
