Snuggle Cape

I had some fleece that I never used from a previous project and leftover ribbon and a little boy who drags his blankie everywhere. I was hoping that making a cape of snuggly fabric maybe blankie could get a rest. So far no such luck.

Building of a Church: Backdrop

My first attempt at making a quilt top to be used as a backdrop. I made the bandng a pocket to be able to have a pole run throw it. I am not making a tutorial on the stand I made to go with it since it started to lean during the play.

Building of a Church: Ears

To go along with the tails I made 5 sets of ears. After searching the internet blogs for a bit I started to figure it out. I cut out 2 rounded bottom triangles and 2 smaller pink inner ear pieces.

Then I cut 3 small slits on the bottom of the ears to fold on itself and glue to make the ear cup.

I hot glued the ears to a headband and then sewed them aroung the headband for extra suport.

I added a tassel of yarn for the horses mane.

Building a Church: Robes

Part 2 of the costumes are generic robes. I wanted our church to use them for other projects so I choose neutral colors and mad a series of 12 "T" robes. I folded (half width-wise then length-wise) and cut a 40 inch length of cotton broadcloth. I cut an "L" shape to create the sleeve and body.






I cut a seam up the middle and a split in the neckline to make the opening of the robe. I estimated many of these measurements.









Sew bothsides of the "L"s and the opening and nekline of the robe. I folded over the top of the robe opening to a triangle to be able to sit flatter around the neck.

 Here are the 12 robes. 4 horses, 2 disciples, woman, owner, captain, 2 old men. Ready for the church's Palm Sunday play.
