Finished cape

I finished sewing the marabou on the cape last night! I wish mine was nice and fluffy like other people's, but now I know to use Joanns boas instead of this crappy stuff from online. I think it still looks passable, anyway, and I might wind up selling it, so I'm not too worried with how it looks. I sewed it on with a running stitch, taking large stitches on the boa side, making sure I went up through the rope of the marabou each time, and taking small stitches on the lining side. I'm planning on replacing the bow with larger ribbon, but this was the widest white ribbon I had on hand.

Here's a few pictures:



I also started sewing the marabou on the muff cover. I think I'm about 1/3 done at this point, so depending on my mood tonight, I'll either go back to the Rapunzel sleeves, or try to finish the muff cover. I've definitely been in a hand-sewing mood lately.

I also took a little time to hot glue faux flowers onto barrette clips for Rapunzel. I think I did 16 total. I just hope the clips stay in her hair! 12 of them are alligator style clips, and when I tried them in her hair, they still seemed quite slippery. The other four are claw style, so those should be just fine.
