EASY Custom hooded cloak

After a weekend of LARPing, Live Action Role Playing,with my youngest step-son,  my husband decided he wanted his own cloak. I had made him one from a sheet for our 1st time, and only one so far, but it was very rough and I gave it away to one of the teenagers at the end. Since we always seem to have reasons to have things like a cloak I decided to make him a better one. Here it is, his very own cloak. The fabric came from the local Savers thrift store for $2.50 and there is still enough to make a flowy dress for me and maybe even a skirt :-) Doesn't he look proud to be Mr. blah blah blah Evil LOL

Table runner and place mat setting for 6=$4.99

I wanted a table runner and matching place mats for our dining room table. Since our table is a unique size, nothing store bought would fit. So after searching for the perfect set I came across this fabric piece in a Savers thrift store for $4.99 and it was at least 1-1/2 yards. After some math I cut my pieces out and zigzaged the edges twice. I changed the sewing machine stitch size each time, because I liked the look. There were actually 2 panels at the thrift store and I bought them both. I am not sure yet what I will do with the second panel and what is left of the 1st one, but I will update when done. It even matches our dishes beautifully.
