Day 6

January 6th

So, I might or might not have messed up and not entered this yesterday (clearly I did, since it's a day late :{ Anyhoo, the reason it's late is because I really wanted to get a picture up with the post but I can't seem to find the cord for my camera, so pictures will wait.

So how did I spend my Wednesday?? Why making a cape of course! I never would have thought I would be making a "Captain Zach" cape for my 20 year old friend Zach, but he requested it when he beat me (pretty bad) at pool. Now, I know I said before that requests shouldn't count as nice things. However, what separates this is the amount of effort I have put into this ridiculous cape! Where I could have just put ties on a red rectangle and called it a cape, I created an elaborate cape with appliqued letters and a diamond with a very intricate black facet design on it. I spent way more time on this then I intended, or than I think Zach thought I would.

Now, I won't get to give the cape to Zach until next week when I go back to school, but I'm pretty sure he'll like it. If not, I don't care, I love it. See, that's the good that came of this nice thing. I found a project I loved working on! I created a tutorial for the project, which I'll upload in a bit and get a link up. This project just made me remember what it is about sewing I love. I took all these scraps of fabric I've gathered and made it into something really beautiful. And it shows what the extra time and effort I put into something can create.

So thanks Zach for kicking my butt at pool and being my Wednesday!

Be Nice :)
