Halloween Cape
My latest creation is a cape for my son for Halloween. Easy? Sort of. Want to do it again? Nope. I bought a pattern for child capes and costumes. The cape is little red riding hood-like, I made the hood, then cut the cape out of muslin. Why? Because I am going to piece it like a crazy quilt and topstich it, zigzag. The thought behind the cape is that in Grimms Fairy Tales, the handsome prince is always under an enchantment where he has to wear a cloak made from 'all the beasts in the forest'. At the last garage sale I went to, I had bought (unknown to me) a box stuffed full of animal print fabric. It's really turning out to be something.
