Four more gifts done – capes for the little kids. Their initial on one side:
and a crown on the other.
Clare had a lovely time choosing which colours were best for which child (and yes, she chose two shades of pink for herself). I used a tutorial from puking pastilles to help me make them.
I am now certain that there is no way I’ll ever sew to sell – I really dislike making things in a production line, and don’t like sewing under pressure. The capes are all made from polycotton, and sewing and ironing fabric with a relatively high polyester content reminds me why I prefer to sew 100% cotton. Now I’ve only two presents left to make, and the clock is ticking . . . I’m glad I started Christmas sewing weeks ago.
By the way, Jodie over at Ric Rac has the most adorable 100th post giveaway – check it out!
