KCW Day 2: Christmas in July
Today's Kid's Clothing Week project was a super-quickie. It's a 1/2 hour cape! I have wanted to make one of these since I first saw the Cape Adeline Pattern months ago. I bought some sweet pink cotton velveteen from the recent Martha Pullen sale, intending to make Ella a birthday/Christmas dress (since her birthday is in December). I think a little cape will keep her warm in her special dress, which I haven't made yet!
What can I say about this? It's adorable! It was easy! I love it! The only hang-up was the perpetually shifting velveteen against the cotton batiste lining. Even though I used my walking foot, the batiste wanted to shift one way where the nap was up and the other way where the nap was down. A little pulling made it behave. This is such a quick and easy project. I could see making a bunch of these to match a little girl's winter wardrobe. The best part of all: I am getting ready for Christmas early this year!
