1329 Capes Sold Today

In 2008 I started making reversible capes for children.  This endeavor has brought me much joy and my capes are all over the USA.   Today I sold # 1329.  Each cape is made by myself including the emblems.  Sometimes my days are spent just making capes (like today) but as each cape goes out in the mail, I know there is one happy little boy or girl flying all over the place.

I started out making just Superman/Batman and Supergirl/Batgirl (made in pink/purple).   Soon it was apparent that Spiderman/Batman needed to be added to the mix.  My list of capes has once again expanded and now includes all four of the Ninja Turtles, black/hot pink Supergirl/Batgirl, black/hot pink Spidergirl/Batgirl, and today I added a navy/red cape that is Supergirl/Wonder Woman.

In June 2015 Brook opened me a store on Etsy where I have an online source of selling the capes.  This has proved to be very fruitful and I love to see where my capes are going to next.  This week capes went from east coast to west coast. 

Last week a mother wrote me and asked if I could make her little 4 year old a special cape with his name embroidered on it. She told me that he was going in for surgery on Oct 13th and this was going to be a surprise for him on that day. I gladly accepted the challenge and can hardly wait to hear how our little superman did with surgery. Please keep Aidan in your thoughts and prayers on Tuesday, Oct 13th. Get well soon my little Superman buddy.

Here are the capes:
