Sweet Superheros

I thought I would share something a little different than a card today. I decided last year that I wanted to make everyone a home made gift for Christmas. I thought about what I wanted to make for each person and I tried my hand at several different things. As I was surfing the web and wasting hours and hours on Pinterest, I found the perfect gift idea for my two little boys.
Superhero Capes!
Only problem? I can't sew worth beans! I mean, I really can NOT sew. I have a sewing machine but it doesn't like me much. Sewing machines and I have never really gotten along. I will sit down to work on something and then the next thing I know,  I have broken a needle. I really am that bad! But for Christmas this year, I was going to try and overcome my fear of my sewing machine and make my boys some capes.
Here's a few pictures of them on Christmas morning. Here they are opening up the capes and discovering what they are...
                                 

                               
They had to put them on right away, it was adorable!
                           
They are reversible - so one side has their initial on it and is just red. The other side has something to fit them. My oldest loves to recycle so his is recycling symbols. My youngest loves Cat in the Hat so I made his with that on it.

Just thought I would share. They are getting a lot of use. I might just have to try making something else with my machine now...we're getting more comfortable with each other! 

Thanks for stopping by!
