Tutorial: Ladybug costume cape

Rachel from Imagine Gnats guest blogs in the Handmade Halloween series at Feather’s Flights with a tutorial showing how to make a ladybug costume cape. It’s quick and easy to make, and because it’s a cape, the sizing is super flexible. She shows it made from felt, but you could also make this out of fleece. Neither fabric will fray, so either way you won’t be having to hem it. Wear it with a black shirt, leggings, and maybe some antennae and you’re good to go. Go to her tutorial to see how to make one.
