As the first couple of weeks of 2012 are history, I find myself being very behind in keeping my Blog current! Six months behind as a matter of fact! Ugh! So my new goal is to resolve to get over my hump of not thinking I can do well with this and just put forth entries on a more regular basis! Thank you for your patience.

I completed several projects last Fall. During that time one of my customers with her daughters was visiting the shop. She had made this darling corduroy cape for one of the girls. She said, "It's from the Oliver+s book that I got from you". Soon after she had left, I went to my copy and worked at tracing off some of the sizes and deciding on what to make mine out of. I chose to use one of my printed featherweight corduroys and line it with a pima gingham check. The pattern is called "Little Red Riding Hood Cape", but we can have lots more imagination than just using red! The cape is perfect for our Oklahoma Fall weather and early spring when a heavy coat is too much. So hence, I stitched up "Little Red Riding Hood Cape" in brown corduroy and it turned out so cute. There are hand/arm slits in the front, I used a brown square button with the loop closure.
