Qué regalar a un niño de 3 años por su cumpleaños?
What to give a three year old boy for his birthday?
What to give a three year old boy for his birthday?

I used some leftover fabric from my girls Snow White dresses and in less than two hours I had it done. I modified the pattern of this cape by adding velcro to the neck, as I think it's safer for a toddler. To hide the velcro I figured out this concealed system that makes it easy to put on.


Era la primera que usaba esta técnica de bordado y sorprendentemente me quedó bien a la primera. Planché bien la aplicación antes de cosérsela a la capa azul con un pespunte normal (aquí podría haber usado también la puntada de ojal pero tenía prisa, como siempre). Después cosí el velcro a cada pieza, monté la capa encarando los derechos, le di la vuelta, y di unas puntadas a mano al cuello para ocultar el cierre. Lo planché todo bien y me fui al cumpleaños. Llegué tarde, aunque no por la capa sino porque me empeñé en terminar este vestido que llevaba varias semanas empezado, pero mereció la pena.
I applique his initial on a piece of red fabric. I first cut out a shape I was happy with and ironed the borders to the wrong side. Then I traced the initial directly onto yellow fabric, cut it out and used a bit of interfacing to iron it to the red panel. I used my buttonhole stitch with a normal foot to sew the letter to the red panel, and surprisingly it turned out great! It was the first time I had used this technique so I'm very happy with the results.
I pressed the pieces well before stitching to the cape, secured the velcro with a zigzag stitch, sew the cape pieces wrong sides together, turned inside out and finished the neck loop. I gave it a good press before wrapping and off we went, although I was late because I was also rushing to finish off this dress in time for the party... We had a great time.
