So, they are finished. And so am I.Quite exhausted here, if I do say so myself.
The supercapes and masks were a little more intense than I anticipated. I think next time, I'll just buy them on etsy. No I won't, because I have this compulsion to do things myself. But I'll sure think long and hard about it.
For the boys capes, I appliqued with satin emblems and letters.
For the girls capes, I was wanting to do a princess crown in the background and thought the satin would be too tricky, so I used felt.
All in all, I think they turned out pretty cute. Just as long as you don't look too closely. The necks were a nightmare. Sewing curves with satin is something that I am going to avoid at all costs in the future.
Well, I'm off to finish packing.
My sister and her family are flying in to Oklahoma tomorrow so the kids and I are headed up to see them, then drive to Missouri to visit Grandparents with them and my parents, then turn back around and head back to Oklahoma for our family Christmas next weekend. And yes, I know that was a run-on sentence. But that is how I feel this next week is going to be. So I'm keeping it.
Have a great week!
Reminds me of the Wonder Pets capes I made Anna and Lucy last year. They were a hit. Anna was a great boss on how they should look. I had no idea. I took the lazy way and made them with my friend POLY ESTER!!! Yours looks great. Lucky kids!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! And the baby blanket is adorable. I do a lot of sewing, so I know how hard satin is...good job! I found you from Mrs. Troop's blog. What a sweet friend you are. It's nice to "meet" you. :) Lisa~
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!!!!! I know a brood of cousins that would think these capes were the best thing ever. Maybe I should learn how to do that by next year. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteHey- can you send me your address. I wanted to send you a card for Christmas!!! Happy early Christmas~
The capes and masks are so cute! A great gift for any child. I will have to remember that but a little unsure about sewing satin at this time. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fun and blessed Christmas with all of your family. I bet it nice being closer to home this year.
Those are SUPER cute! :) Great job! My son has already designed his own cape for the super-hero he created. I just haven't put it together yet, but you have inspired me! Maybe I can still get some done by Christmas. I don't think I'll use satin though. I'm not that brave! LOL!
