Baby red riding hood.

Inspired by my friend, I made Vera a little red riding hood cloak. It was extremely easy and took maybe an hour to put together. I am thrilled that she actually likes to wear it. :)

It's just two half circles with a half circle cut out of the top (like for a circle skirt) and four pieces of a hood. I just used one of my sweatshirts, folded the hood in half and traced it. You need two pieces of the outer and two pieces of the lining fabric. 

I sewed the two pieces of the outer hood together and then sewed them to the neck line of the outer park of the cloak, then did the same for the lining fabric. Then sew them right sides together almost all the way around. flip it right side out and finish up the seam. To make it sturdier, I then ironed it and sewed all the way around the hems with a contrasting color. This will help all the seams to stay in place and not bunch up after washing. Then I made a rectangle of fabric sewed it to one side of the opening of the cloak and added velcro to the other for easy on and off.

Sorry this is a terrible tutorial. But it really was super easy.
