A couple of weeks ago, I answered the phone and this little voice said “Grammy, will you make me a tape”? After translating, I realized that Emma was asking me to make her a CAPE! (her personal dictionary told me that since tookie = cookie and tacker = cracker, therefore, tape = cape). Grammys are smart, aren’t they? LOL
She loves all things girly, so I knew I had to find the perfect fabric. As soon as I saw the rainbow effect with the sparkle butterflies, the search for what to make it out of was over.
Some sparkle trim and a glitzy button finished it off.
Here’s the back and it even has a hood!
And the finished tape…oops, I mean CAPE! I’ll be taking it up to her next week when I go to help out with the baby. I’m sure I’ll have pictures to share. I hope it isn’t gigantic on her. But then I guess that’ll give her lots of years of wear, right?
(Note: I wrote this post in Windows Live Writer but when it transferred into my blog, I lost the right side of the picture borders. Does anyone know what I did wrong or how to correct it? I can't seem to fix it. )

Oh my - Emma is going to adore her tape - you'll have trouble getting her to take it off at bedtime! Great job, Anne!

Grammys have the lingo down, or so I understand. What a lucky little girl.
What a sweet grammy!
Beautiful tape! When I use Live Writer I set the width of the picture to 455 px. everything seems to fit.
wow...that is an amazing cape....lucky Emma to have a grammy who can make beautiful things for her..I am sure she will treasure it! It brings back memories of my youngest asking for a "Merlin" cape when he was going thru his wizard phase..LOL....No grammy to make one so it was up to me....turned out ok and he had loads of fun with it...!
You're such a good Grammy! I'm sure she'll love it with all the glitter.

Wow that's one amazing cape! I commend you for sewing on fabric like that, its icky to sew with. But then Grammies have special powers.
Your pictures are too wide for the area of your blog, that's all. I think they're all there when you blow them up.
I want one of those capes too!
I use Windows Live Writer, Anne.
Go back into your original
post and edit out the photo by backspacing the photo out and then reinsert it in the same space. If it showed up fine in the writing of the post stage, it should have transferred to your blog that way as well. Maybe it was a Live Writer momentary 'brain fart'.
Beautiful! She is going to love it :o)
You are a very special Grandma!! The tape, I mean cape, is beautiful. You can be very proud of yourself!
what a beautiful cape--having made many dress up and pretend clothes for my granddaughter (Graduates hs this weekend) i appreciate the care and love that went into the fabric selection and construction. I follow your blog regularly--arlyce
Oh you are just the best gramma ever! Your cape is lovely and I am sure that it will be treasured. It's just wonderful! B.
Now that is one fancy cape!!! I love it and she will be a hit wearing it too.
