I had a letter to drop in the mailbox. Since I was already in the parking lot, I went by Carl's and bought Billy some of the ice cream sandwiches he's been after.
After dropping off my little ones, I came home to sew. Sadly, I had a notification from Alice's teacher that their library day was moved up to today, so I grabbed all the library books to bring up. Alice, Grace and Juliet all went today. Sadly, William's schedule did not fit into the move, so he did not go today.
I started with Alice's cape. Her fabric sewed like a dream! I was able to put decorative stitching on the hems and had more than enough fabric to work with. Then I started on mine.
I fought the velour fabric for hours...…….. it is so strange, it managed to shrink and stretch on each piece. ugh. It came out a little smaller than I would have liked, but the fabric is just sooooooooo pretty, I really do love it! Here's a before picture of the first piece on top of one of the original Pottery Barn Teen curtains:
When the kids came home they were excited to try on their capes and by all the goodies that Aunt Rocky brought over.
I still need to make Grace and Juliet some capes, and Billy if I can find the fabric!
Juliet was super excited to show me her library book when she got home. It has a picture of a butt in it, which is hilarious when you are 5. lol.
For dinner we had spaghetti and meatballs.
After dinner I took out the trash, and worked on the ties of my cape. I am waiting until Sunday before procuring the strap for Emily and I need to find some gold colored D rings for Alice's. So as of right now only mine and William's are finished products.
We also added some songs to our summer playlist. = )
later days
