When I saw Gabriela’s stuff on her etsy store, Capes and Aprons, I loved it immediately. We have quite a collection of capes, ranging from vampire to superhero to magician. But what kid wouldn’t love one like these:
My kids are very big on dressing up, especially my son. I asked Gabriela if she could find a way to make a cape from a buttondown shirt as I had three cast-offs my husband had set in our giveaway pile and the fabric seemed so nice and easy to sew with. Yet, I was not capable myself (get it!? CAPABLE?) of figuring out how to make such a thing.
Gabriela did not disappoint. Look at her little guy with his business shirt cape! I am in love with the wristbands. Kapow! Kapow!

We have one of Gabi’s capes… They are the BEST! Put one on a kiddo and they instantly become superheroes, butterflies, queens/kings… Instant imagination fuel!
I recently made capes for my little ones out of $2 t-shirts from Goodwill. I got the idea online and it was so easy! Just cut the front and sleeves off the t-shirt, trim the neck, apply velcro, and watch your superhero! The boys LOVE them!
So cute!!! I HAVE to make one!
Can’t we just stick to paying her to make them?
Geez, I wish I were crafty with the apparell. I know kids aren’t picky, but I’m pretty sure my children would find any cape I made ridiculous…and not in a good way.
I love these though! Too cute!
Gabi’s niece loves her cape as well!!!
love you Auntie Gabi!!!
