A ruffle cape for Christmas

Here are some quick pictures of a cape I made before Christmas. I purchased the pattern from Seamingly Smitten Patterns on Etsy and I absolutely am in love. You can also check out the Seaminglysmitten blog which is pretty neat.

For this cute cape I chose a linen blend fabric in light pink along with a sheer polka dot lining. Here's hoping for an early spring!

It was a fairly easy pattern to follow especially for a beginner such as myself. 

The hardest part was creating the ruffle and then attaching it to the cape. I found a ruffler presser foot attachment my my sewing machine at Amazon for about $10. Once I figure out how to actually use it I think it will make gathering a little more easier. 
 
An early Christmas present to myself.
