Ok, well I'm not giving up totally, just till I get a camera. At the moment, the only camera I have is on my cell, & it isn't that great. It frustrates me to no end that I can't post good pics (I'm sure it does you too). So, since I have so many other things going on in my life that cause frustration, I'm getting rid of what I can. I am fully dedicated to starting this back up AS SOON as I get a decent camera. Everybody cross your finger that we get enough back from taxes to get one.
Thanks for reading,
Cole

The above post talks about needing a DSLR. I just thought it was funny seeing as I was commenting on this yesterday. Random things strike me as funny. You'll learn this.

Super Hero Cape
Ok, as promised, I actually have something to post about. A friend of mine ordered a cape for her little boys birthday. She showed me the pic of one he like out of the Chasing Fireflies website, & this is my knockoff. Sorry for the crappy pic. All I have at the moment is my camera phone. (I am pushing for a DSLR with tax return money)
On a side note, while working on this, my machine started giving me fits yet again. I looked up every possible thing I could think of to see what might be the problem. Wouldn't you know, my machine is super picky about the bobbins. After I fixed that, all is well again. It makes me want to start sewing again. YAY!!!!!
Hopefully I will have the gloves & mask for you next week. If you can bear with the awful camera phone pics, I might try to make a tutorial for the gloves. It will be my first.
This cape is reversible. It is green on the other side with a yellow lightning bolt. I just cut a half circle of each fabric. Cut out the applique shapes I wanted. To put the name on, I used the freezer paper stencil technique. After I had sewed on the appliques, I put the half circles together with right sides facing & stitched together. I left a few inches in the center open to flip right side out, then topstitched around the entire thing. D is now asking that I make him one, so if you would like a tutorial, let me know. As soon as my kids are better ( the 4 year old has bronchitis, & the 9 month old has strep & bronchialitis. needless to say, I'm staying pretty busy with breathing treatments & meds at the moment.), I will be making a green pair of fingerless gloves, a blue pair of fingerless gloves, a blue mask, & a green mask. BTW, he LOVED cape.
Hopefully I will have the gloves & mask for you next week. If you can bear with the awful camera phone pics, I might try to make a tutorial for the gloves. It will be my first.
