Super Hero Cape

I made this Super Hero Cape for Reece for his 2nd Birthday and he LOVES it. I just free hand drew the cape outline and it worked fine.

I made a couple of mistakes with this one that I won't make when I make one for Seth and Wyatt. I did the order of the felt backwards. I started with the white and went out to the initial and I should have started with the initial because it wouldn't bond after the white circle. Also, the neck hole is too big so it gapes a little bit. Oh well, it's still super cute (at least I think so).

A New Tree Tee

This was just a plain green t-shirt that was handed down to me. Since I have plenty of plain t-shirts I decided to try something on it that I had seen on another blog. I used a bleach pen to draw a design on it. I went with a tree because the shirt was green. I learned a couple of things on this little project. First of all, if you're going to do a big design, like I did, then make sure to work in sections. The bleach works fast, so it will bleach out the part you start with quickly and then look a lot lighter than where you finish. I had to go back over where I ended to make it more even. Also, make sure you have a full bleach pen. The one I started with wasn't full so I ran out halfway through which made it kind of spit out bleach at the end and get some spots on the shirt. As you finish the section you're working on just rinse it in cold water to get the bleach off and then lay it out to dry.
I'm happy with the finished product because I know that noone else will have something like it and it was free.

Check out these Awesome Purses

I found out about this fantastic group from another blog that I read. If you're looking for a great gift for a special woman in your life head on over and buy them one of these fantastic purses. This opportunity is providing for women in Haiti by teaching them a skill. A SKILL!! You can't beat that. Plus, it recycles fabric for another purpose (which you know I love). So seriously, check this out, by some purses and support an amazing cause.
From their website:
Heartline Haiti is a mission that runs a Sewing Program to provide women a means to support themselves. These purses have been handmade by women in the program located in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. They are made by hand of recycled fabric and burlap sugar sacks. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, and poverty, famine, disease, and hurricanes have made it very difficult for the people there. This is a great opportunity to buy a cute, handmade bag that will help support a local woman living in Haiti. This is a real way to bring change to the nation of Haiti; one woman and one bag at a time. You are taking a personal interest in her and her life. It's working too. These ladies are buying their own sewing machines, paying for their children to go to school and buying stoves with money still in their business accounts.
