Right now I am addicted to my sewing machine – I just can’t get all the projects in my head done fast enough these days. But I do know that for those of you who do not sew, the idea of sewing something can be somewhat intimidating. So I recently came across this “No Sew Ruffle Flutter Cape with Armholes” tutorial on a blog I follow (Ruffles and Stuff) and had to make a couple for my daughter, Savannah.
In case you weren’t paying attention – yes, I said NO SEW! All you need is some fleece, a pair of scissors and a pretty ribbon and you are in business. The beauty of fleece is it doesn’t fray so there is no need to sew any hems at all. So I’ve attached a link to the tutorial here .
