I'm coming back

I swear.....this time is for real.  I made an agreement with the hubby to be able to blog or sew a minimum of one hour per day.  Which right now means blogging mostly.  As soon as I can get my sewing area set up, I'll be doing more of that.  Yep, I finally re-arranged our bedroom for my own little space.  He has his space with the computer and now I have space in the bedroom.  The bedroom is ultimatley the safest place given we have a preschooler and a delayed first grader.  Neither of which knows what it means to "stay out of mommy's sewing stuff".  This way I can lock our bedroom door and not worry when I'm not here.

That said......having had the boys out ToT'ing last night, I have a renewed interest in bags as well as quilting.  I have SIX Santa sacks ready to be sewn, just have to find the time.  Wish me luck, the next 12 days are already jam-packed.

No-sew Mickey cape

Materials:
One stained t-shirt
Pair of scissors
Permanent marker
Small coffee can
Sippy cup

1. Cut t-shirt along side seam, around sleeve seam and neck ribbing, hen down the opposite side.
2. Place small coffee can upper center of cape and trace.
3. Trace bottom of sippy cup on each side of head.
4. Fill in with color.
5. Place on happy 3yo.

This was a first-effort. I didn't use a permanent marker and the shirt was one of my 7yo's, so the neckline is a bit big.
