WIP Wednesday!!

Can it be Wednesday again, so soon?! I feel like *almost* nothing has gotten done...

But I have done some! Here are this week's WIPs -

Supernova - I have 9 of the 12 sub sets done.

I keep fluctuating between being totally thrilled with my fabric selection, and totally horrified. I just don't know. I think it will end up looking awesome... but there's a chance it will be a hot mess. Either way, I love this pattern, the gals in the quilt-a-long are rock stars, and I have had fun. But let's hope for awesome.

I took a few minutes to make awesomely ridiculous superhero capes for my kids.

Tutorial below. They are so silly, but my kids have not taken them off!! :)

I haven't gotten my third Bottled Rainbow block done yet. Today, for sure! Picture to come!

Super secret project took a big step forward this week, and I am almost halfway done with the applique. It's still killing me though. Again, sorry for no pictures or even info on this one, but eventually, I will be able to debut the #$%*& thing. ;)

That's all this week! Happy Wednesday! See more of what people are doing here!!

Easy Superhero Cape Tutorial!

My husband came up with this idea - and it is so fun, silly, and SUPER easy, that I decided to do a quick tutorial!!

Superhero Capes from Daddy's old shirts!

Start with an old dress shirt. If your hubby's like mine - you go through them pretty quickly... Cut the arms off.



Turn shirt inside out, and sew up the arm holes. I zig-zaged them!

Then, trim off any extra at seams (I used pinking shears).

Tada.

Now, my little one is only 3, so the shirt was WAY too long, so I trimmed a zig-zag design off the bottom using pinking shears (because I am way too lazy to hem this sort of thing... ;))

That's it! EASY!! Now on to Superhero fun!! (Or, in my daughter's case, this is now her invisibility cloak. Guess what we're reading right now...)

Quick and easy - and a fun way to recycle those old shirts! :) Enjoy!
