Which types of henna can I use to achieve that? I'm not totally clear on which types of henna do what. I already have dark brown hair. I would love some help because this is new and I don't want to waste a whole day doing it wrong. I want dark brown, almost black hair with reddish tints.

Im making the same cape now. How did you layer the lining, shell, and collar when you do the final stitching together? Im a novice sewer and cant seem to figure it out. (if I sew right side to right side, the collar comes up on the wrong side.) Any advice?? Thanks!! Nin ninphoto@yahoo.com Fantastic!! Im making the same cape now.

Although I don't believe I measured it for this tutorial, my "rule of thumb" is to place the elastic around my bare arm where the finished sleeve will fall, tighten it by 0.5 inches, and then mark that tightened final length on the elastic. If you'd like a safer approach, you can always use long basting stitches to try elastic different lengths before sealing up the sleeve in step 8. Let me know how it goes — I'm so glad you're liking it so far! :) The length of the elastic is up to you — basically, just make the final length of elastic shorter than the circumference of your sleeve so it will crunch up and give the sleeve a ruffled effect.

Do you measure the elastic around the arm or just thread it through and once it is all the way around cut it? I am loving this and I hope you respond quickly because I am right in the middle of it!

It's pretty potent stuff, and will dye hair and skin an orange shade on contact. Even after leaving henna on for a long period of time, your hair will immediately be more orange than red, but it will deepen in color afterwards (a few days later) to form a richer red. I leave my henna in for hours because, in theory, the henna-juice paste is so thick that I want it to shift and spread out underneath the shower cap. The more time it has to do so, the more even the dye coverage. Why don't you try two different timed strand tests? I haven't heard about the paprika addition, but if you have luck with it, let me know. I’m not sure. It’s pretty potent stuff, and will dye hair and skin an orange shade on contact.

Sorry the recipe wasn't to your liking. Since you liked the texture, you could try adjusting the spices or changing them completely. (I admit, I'm a bit of a rosemary freak.) To cut down on time, you could also drain some canned, pre-cooked lentils, and then top the pie with prepared mashed potato mix. Thanks for the feedback, Erin! Sorry the recipe wasn’t to your liking.
