Shearling Scrap Mantle

After dumping out my bag of sheep shearling scraps on the floor and rolling around in glee, I decided to make something out of them. I have a concept for a LARP character who's a northerner, but I want her costume to look somewhat ragged and patchwork. I stitched a bunch of the scraps together in the rough shape off the cloak caplet I work with for hoods. My hope is to use this mantle to top of a cloak when I finally get around to making one. (Even if I don't get around to it, the mantle is nice and warm!)

I'm going for a ragged edge, but it's hard with the fluffy shearling.

You can see the different colours of the scraps along the back.
