Tidbit Tuesday

If you could see my house, my hair, my clothes, and Sam crawling up the counters trying to get something to eat because he is hungry, you'll understand why this post is later in the day than normal. But I am SUPER excited to post this little tidbit!





#1: SuperHero Cape - This is the best, cheapest, and one of the easiest crafts I've sewn. Sam was so thrilled about it, and really the pattern is amazing because it is SIMPLE. I found the a superhero cape tutorial here. Sam got a 2 in 1 cape for $7.50! I am also making one for Jack with a "Super J" and the Incredible logo. Here's what you need:
  • 3/4 - 1 yard of two different colors of material
  • Felt pieces ($0.30/piece) for the logos
  • Heat & Bond Lite - iron on the logos with
  • Velcro

See the tutorial for step by step instruction, and pictures to go with it. They also have superhero capes for girls on the site as well! I loved it!!

What a good idea! I am not the greatest at the whole sewing thing but I think I could do that. I might have to make one for Cameron one day!

Oh....Carter has to have one of these! Seriously, can I pay you to make one for him? He would be your BFF! I love the smattering of toys on the floor in the background! Glad someone else's house looks like mine! :)

Oh Megan, those turned out so freaking cute. My mother in law comes in today, and is here until Tues. So if next Wed. you are available--lets do it. I'll bring lunch over and we can let the boys play while YOU teach me how to be crafty!!
