Little Red Riding Hood

This was my little girls halloween costume this year.

Here is what I did:

I took a yard of material and cut so that it would be a good length for my daughter.  

Then I took the left over material and cut a square to make the hood. 

Once I had it all cut out I surged the side of the cape and left the top and bottom un-surged.

Then I sewed across the top with the large strait stitch. I found the middle and pulled the stitch I just made so that it looked ruffled. pinned this in place and sewed it in place. Then I surged over that.

For the hood I surged the sides of the hood and then added to my cape and surged them together. I then took the top and folded it in half to surge it together.  

I then added ties to the area where I sewed the hood on.  

This is how it turned out. My riding hood can also be used as a cape I just tuck the hood and its a super hero cape.
