Choosing a pattern and the colored felt brought out the artist in each girl. As the girls pinned on the accent piece they knew it would be so appreciated by the kids in Rwanda.
There were some oops as they sewed the felt pieces. But not to worry as they fixed what needed to be fixed. Some like the lightening bolts took extra careful concentration.
Finishing them off was a slow process as they threaded the ribbon for the ties through the top part.
Each completed new cape brought smiles of accomplishment as well as oohs and ahhs from all the girls. Certificates were handed out as they were encouraged to keep sewing on their own, at one of Amy's classes or at a future Secret Seamstress Society event.
Thank you to Amy, Kristin and all the girls for the super hero/story capes that will travel with me to the Urukundo School in March 2015.
