Capes for Friends

When you become a parent, you start to get invites to birthday parties. All year long, every month, sometimes every weekend, or twice a weekend, and sometimes there are even twins! So many capes, so many screaming kids, so much birthday cake... Or should I say half eaten pieces of birthday cake soggy from the discards of whatever Pie didn't eat... YUM! 

Here are a few capes we made for our friends: 

This one was for Jesse, he was super into Green Lantern, Buzz Lightyear, and Mario's Luigi.  I am sensing a theme, I like his style.  So I made him a black satin cape with hombre green trim and silver lettering.  I just LOVE the ombre trims, my Pinterest obsession tells me that it's the cool thing these days.

One of Jesse's good friends, and fellow Buzz Light year super fan, DeMarco also requested a green cape.  Since these two are best buds, it seemed appropriate for them to match.  Something tells me it must have been the right choice: 

And two more! So many capes, so little time. These two were for our friends, the twins, Cambree and Corbin. Unfortunately for my us, our twin friends have moved back to their hometown and we miss them tons. Especially Pie, often. Their favorite colors are pink and blue, so I made them both black satin capes with pink and blue ombre trims and silver lettering.  

Check back soon for THREE separate, and very special, custom orders from Cambree and Corbin's, Jesse's, AND DeMarco's moms. They all have a serious eye for color and fabric, I almost didn't want to part with any of the final products.

Special thanks to DeMarco's and Jesse's moms for sending me action shots! Check out the Facebook Page for more photos and updates.
