Thanks so much!!! After Christmas last year is when I bought a boatload of that plaid real cheap!!!!
Wendy those turned out so cute! I wish I had time to make outfits for DD's kids for Christmas but now that I've finished my project I have to start my Mom's projects that she left unfinished. My youngest niece knew my Mom was making her one. When Mom died she went to her Mom, my little sister, and said "I guess I won't get my quillow that grandma was making". She wanted to ask me to complete it but her Mother told her she couldn't ask me. My sister knew I had taken them all home to try and get them done. That would be 8 quillows I would have to get made. My oldest niece already has one but Mom had already purchased and paired the fabric for my other 3 nieces and for my 5 grandkids.
As far as the super hero capes go, I bought DGD6 one when she was about 3 and I paid $30-40 for it at a craft fair. This cape has been a favorite play thing for all of my grandkids and is quite fuzzy now (from the velcro) and many fights over who was going to get to wear it. Now they will each have their own cape to play in. I just used tissue paper to trace the neck band and the shield and laid the cape itself out as a pattern. Then I found an applique intial and inlarged it to the size I wanted and then found a font I liked to put their name on their intial. DD cut them out for me but each cape took 30 minutes to put their intial and name on it plus sewing the neck band and sheild on. I just hope everyone enjoys them as much as my grandkids have. Now we won't have fights over it.
