Man have I been busy creating lately :) I LOVE to be creative and this year (as always) I have taken on way too much and have very little chance of getting it all done. But it wouldn't be Christmas without late nights elfing!!
I am jumping with joy because I just finished Z's homemade gift. Each year we make the kids one homemade gift from the heart. S and Z are in charge of Lil' C's gift this year and I wanted to do Z's. I had a tough time deciding what to create but in the end settled on a reversible Super Hero cape. I went to the fabric store, bought some cheap Satiny material and some fabric fusing stuff. I checked out a bunch of websites to figure out how to make a cape and found this one to be the most helpful.
I made my own pattern and free handed the super hero emblems. I then ironed them emblems onto the fabric fuse material and fused them to the cape.
I sewed the emblems as well to make sure they wouldn't fall off.
I then sewed the right sides together leaving six inches at the bottom so that I could flip it right side out. I then went around and sewed a 1/4 inch finishing stitch to finish it all off and VOILA....
I can't WAIT to give it to him....I hope he loves it as much as I do! I also made it so it fits my neck ...that way when they ask me to play I can do so comfortably ;)
