Finished Capes & Murphy's Law--Pics & Video

Whew.........The 10 Reversible Capes are done!!!! You may recall from my last post that I was making them for a local High School dance line. Here's a quick pic of me in one (half done, before I pressed them)--showing both sides. The pics don't do them justice. I'll get a pic of the girl's in them soon.


 They turned out great and the dance coach absolutely loved them. I'm a little short on time so here's a video detailing more about my experience. Murphy's law almost thwarted things but thankfully I was able to work around it! Check it out!
Ok, that's it for me. When I get back in town I'll get to work on my fall wardrobe!!!! I can't wait!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!

 If you can't see the video or the links acting up go to my youtube page to see it HERE....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtIcDoIgKu8&feature=youtu.be

    I'm so happy you managed to finish the capes after the machine kicked out on you. proves that you absolutely need a back up machine, my mom wanted mines I told her I rather buy her a machine that give her my back up lol, enjoy your retreat, sounds wonderful

    GREAT job :) You DO charge for your labor don't you??? It's great to DONATE sewing time occasionally. Just as a hint since seamstresses seem to be awkward about their pricing..I charge $26 per hour for my time :) I have a price list for most of my jobs but I would have estimated THIS job at $100 per cape. Labor only. NEVER-EVER GIVE your labor away unless you are doing it for a charitable cause that you care about :) Seamstresses are becoming RARE BEASTS. We can make a living by STICKING to a FAIR WAGE :) Your video was fine :) Nice to meet you :) CHERYL of CHERYL DESIGNS :)
