My first project -wizard’s cloaks for the kids!

I went to Spotlight with Zoe to find fabric to make her an apron, and came home with this pink stretchy, slithery, sparkly stuff to whip up a wizard’s cloak. As soon as he saw it Hamish said that he wanted one too, so the next day we went back and he chose the swirly purple fabric for his cloak(I did manage to talk him out of rainbow satin for the lining!). As I was grappling with trying to sew this difficult fabric my mum’s words kept ringing in my ears ‘try something easy to start off with’, and ‘do a practice run before using your good fabric’. My mum is a wise woman (even if she could never get me to take her advice lol!). There’s hardly a straight seem in the two cloaks combined, but as you can see the kids don’t care. Now I just need to make the matching hat….
