Red Hood

Winter Hood

Here is a little hooded cape for my girl, except the hood is pretty large...so large it fits me actually.

I figured it is always winter in during Chinese New Year's so why not make her something warm and red to wear (since that is the colour  good luck I think) 

 The whole thing is fully reversible (again!) I don't know why I like to do that so much. :) 

The tartan is a flannel fabric and the red is a wool blend, so putting the two fabrics together makes this item   quite thick and heavy. I also had some extra cotton batting  from the quilt I was making, so I decided to stitch in between the two fabrics to make it even  warmer for her to wear. Of course, I did not realize that it would make the fabric stand up a bit more and so she looks really quite funny I think. 

Maybe it can double as a Halloween costume?
