Super Hero Capes

Sorry for not blogging more often.  Hey!  It's the summer - but we've been quite busy!  We're getting ready for our church's VBS, starting up this Sunday night (Come join us!).  

Told my mom that the next "great idea" that I have... to just kick me hard!!  LOL!  I had this vision... our theme was "Jesus/ Super Hero" and I just had this idea of all the kids running around with capes on... SO!  Being the "artsy-fartsy" one and having a mother and husband that support me so much - we are making capes = 180!!  OMG!  Alex is my model in the pic with the cape.  He's a little big in size for the cape, but you get the idea.  The capes will go to the kids up through 5th grade attending the VBS.

  Several ladies in the church are helping - each

 making 10 capes!  Ging cut out portions of the fabric, printed the iron-ons and I assembled it all together.

Then she cut out 50 capes and I'm trying to get them all "serged" tonight.  I got a serger machine over 20 years ago - Best gift that my first husband ever bought me... but working with a serger is frustrating, hmmm , just like my first husband - LOL!  ANY-WHO!  Will take pics next week and let you see the kids reaction.

We're using 100% muslin fabric, iron on transfers and velcro tabs.  Cutting and "serging" the edges has been the most time consuming!  KV has become the official "Iron Man" - it's all

 teamwork and it's coming together so well.  After this activity is completing the boys'  4-H Record Book - argh!  Hope you are having a great week and a great summer.  Hug the ones you love - real TIGHT!  It feels GOOD on both sides! LOL!
