Yes I have, but wonder if I’m not doing it correctly.

Thanks heaps, I’ll give that a go on the next one.

The Cosy Winter Hood from the LTTS book. Love it! It’s nearly finished, just trying to make the ears stand up before I embark on two more.

I have just finished my second Red Riding Hood Cape, my first projects from the LTTS book. Love the book and just love the capes. Putting the machine away for a couple of days then into a wee skirt for a friend’s 2 yr old, complete with Dora appliqué. Cross fingers it turns out well. After that…the bear carrier. Can’t wait.

Well, thanks again for the advice. Very excited about completing the cape and rapt with how it turned out. I did the front and back panels vertical and the side panels horizontal. Looks great.

I know this post is a year old but it just helped me sew the hood for the little cape, so thank you! I’ve always pinned close to edge of fabric so rapt that I learned your tip of pinning on the seam line, what a difference! Cape coming along nicely. Can’t wait to finish it tomorrow.

Thanks for that idea – I quite like the idea of the alternate vertical/horizontal look. Might give it a go, as you said, on paper first. (Another good idea!)
