Ok, I've never claimed to be very crafty. I enjoy to do them, as many of you know, but they definatly look like a grade school art project. So lately I was surfing the web looking to buy a superhero cape for Micah. Well let's just say that those things, if they were of any quality, were WAYYYYY out of my price range (come-on we're talking about a toy for a 3 yr old, he doesn't have high expectations!). Well, I found a very basic pattern that allowed me to sew the superhero cape. I figured, how hard can that be?! Although you have to remember I have virtually ZERO sewing experience. In middle school we learned to sew drawstring bags & I feel like I can make those pretty well (I've made enough TMI dish bags to be a bit of an expert) but I've never tried anything else. Well, but 1 am last night I had finally finished it. It definatly isn't perfect & there's probably a reason why I'm not going to show you close up pictures :-) But Micah LOVES it & that's what matters & when all was said & done it only cost me $10 in materials (much better than the $30-40 they wanted on-line!). So here is my first attempt at sewing:

"Super Dog!!," says Micah. This is his new favorite superhero show, "Krypto Super Dog" on Cartoon Network...it's kinda strange, but innocent.

I think if I got good at making these, they would be great for a birthday party...but I've got till next June to see if that's a crazy idea :-)

Adorable!!!! What little boy wouldn't love a superhero cape?! From the look on Micah's face, your time and effort has completely been worth it!
