Last week I made the Red Riding hood Cape from the book, Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew. I can't say enough good things about this book! I love every project.
The cape was for Oscar's friend's birthday, but I couldn't resist taking a photo or two before wrapping it up. Oscar was happy to oblige, and I'm pretty sure he didn't even realize this cape is meant for little girls.
This was one of the easier rated patterns in the book, and is beautifully simplistic. I hope our little friend enjoys the addition to her dress-up box.
Speaking of birthdays, guess who turned 3 yesterday? I can hardly believe it - feels like just yesterday Oscar was a tiny burrito of a baby. We are so glad to have him in our family.

That's gorgeous - I'm going to have to attempt some more sewing from that book! It's been on my shelf for a while now.
Isnt it just the best book ever - I have made the cape too and love it. What will you make next?
aaww that is so cute... I am sure boys could use it for a super hero cape if they didn't want to play Little red riding hood.. :O)
Adorable! Fabric choice is great.

Cute! Love the fabric choices and the little hand slits. Happy birthday Oscar!
Aww Jill I remember when you found out you were pregnant with Oscar. I was so excited that I ran and told my husband! He was like, "oh yeah your BFF Jill who you've never really met"!! :) ha!
Happy Birthday, hospital roomy!!! You were one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. And now such a handsome, strapping boy!

New follower here! I found you through Taylor Made, and I am loving your blog! This cape is so adorable, and it looks quite sturdy. I bet my nieces would love one of these for Christmas. Thanks so much for the idea.
I love your cape! I was wondering what kind of material you used? I just got my Oliver + S book yesterday and can't wait to start! Also, do you buy your fabric online? thanks!
