It's Done!

Three metres of delicious wool and cashmere blend, six pearlescent buttons, two weeks watching West Wing episodes and one beginner sewist trying to make something a wee bit above her skill level has resulted in my finished super hero cape.

Here is a sneak peek and I'll be sharing the challenges, victories and lessons learned tomorrow... Oh, so very, very many lessons learned!

Cape complete. Yay!

Best part of this picture? My unintentionally matching pink Chucks. Damn, I'm a lady who likes me some pink!

  1. Omg I can't wait to see photos. You're inspiring me to make one come fall.

    And yes, you're right - the matching chucks are the best!

  2. Maddy- you need to get on the super cape wagon! It's awesome. I just want to secure the top two buttons with a bit more reinforcement and iron it. Can't wait to share photos :D
