And it is a great idea because if it gets really cold, M can be bundled up inside the cape without "ruining" the effect of the costume. Good call, Mama :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069880 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:39:35 +0000 Chillybear 1069880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: i agree... if you;re sewing this by hand skip the hood lining and the ruffle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069808 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:16:44 +0000 T-Mom 1069808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yes, or perhaps some of that iron-on hem tape, like "stitch withchery" I think it's called! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069748 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:51:58 +0000 blackbird 1069748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder if you could use one of those no-sew glues.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069639 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:06:33 +0000 Cole 1069639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say you could very easily do the cape and the hood without a lining by hand. Adding the lining to the hood and the ruffle would both be very time intensive. Fleece will not unravel so you don't need to finish all of your seams. </p> <p>If you skip the ruffle you could add interest by choosing pretty trim at the fabric store and gluing it to the end instead, they even have ruffled ribbon. </p> <p>Let me know if you have any other questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069628 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:04:00 +0000 mediagirl 1069628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @locavore_mama - this is a great point. No edges to worry about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069624 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:01:33 +0000 looch 1069624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you used felt or fleece, you wouldn't have to sew the edges, which could cut down on the work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069623 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:00:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1069623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would take time, but it could be done. The only part you would have to leave off is the ruffle. If you'd like to try, you should start soon and give yourself plenty of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069618 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:59:23 +0000 mediagirl 1069618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'm considering it. Go look at your messages, I sent you one. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069616 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:58:33 +0000 regberadaisy 1069616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: hhahah are you being serious? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069613 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:57:01 +0000 mediagirl 1069613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'm taking my costume back and making this for M. :) As for doing it by hand? It would be pretty labor intensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-that-sew#post-1069610 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:55:09 +0000 regberadaisy 1069610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about dressing LO up as little red riding hood for Halloween. But I don't want to buy a costume. How easy / hard do you think this cape pattern would be to hand sew with needle and thread for a novice?</p> <p><a href="http://www.themodesthomestead.com/2012/10/little-red-riding-hood-costume-tutorial.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.themodesthomestead.com/2012/10/little-red-riding-hood-costume-tutorial.html</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
