Fast flying cape

N is always playing "Super Why" running around the house wearing a cape made from an old receiving blanket his grandma made for M 13 years ago. So, I decided to make him a new cape for Christmas. This one has velcro at the neckline instead of being tied. I also made one for the BAB puppy he got for Christmas. I found flame fabric left over from Halloween at Jo-ann's and red lining fabric. I used two yards sewn side by side and stitched all around three sides. Then I gathered the neckline as closely as I could and stitched black bias tape to the neckline adding velcro for the closure. Puppy's isn't quite as gathered but he can stand without walking on his cape. N and puppy fly so fast when they wear their capes. Unfortunately, N still seems to wear the old cape more than the new one. Maybe he likes that it just slips it over his head. I don't know. I'm not sure he knows why.
