Baby Capes

Our beautiful niece, E, came to visit us last weekend; and it's fair to say I'm totally besotted. I spent the entire weekend commending her parents on just how bloomin' brilliant she is. A Super Baby, in fact. 

Naturally, this got me thinking about how, as she holds the superpower of being utterly freakin' adorable, it seemed almost tragic that E didn't own a cape!

Thankfully, that was one tragedy I knew how to resolve*.



I made the cape fully reversible, so E has the option to be Super E or Cake Girl, depending on her mood. As E is only eight weeks old, I guess Mummy and Daddy get to make that call at the moment.



Here's E, exercising her super powers:

To be honest, I'm quite tempted to overhaul my Etsy shop and start making capes for babies. What do you reckon?

* The bit where she wouldn't stop crying every time I, and only I, went near her... not so much. I'll admit it - the cape was totally a bribe to try and make E love me!!

    1. I reckon I could make grown up ones too :) I'm considering matching a matching set for T and his mates who are all cycling the off-road London to Brighton charity bike race in September. xx

  2. So cute! She is one lucky baby to have a cool adoring Auntie! You could even turn it around to double up as an immense bib, for when you need your baby to stay really clean. Now there's a gap in the market no one has thought of.
    You've got to make capes for the cycling boys! xxx

    1. Thank you :) Her Mum and Dad have already done that- and it's even big enough to tuck over her as a blanket when she's in her car seat :) xxx
