Capes 4 Kids Australia donates super powered capes to little superheroes undergoing treatments or procedures in hospital. The capes are sewn by volunteers and sent to hospitals across Australia.
I can only imagine how scary it must be for a young child who ends up in hospital, whether as a one off, or for ongoing treatment. Anything that helps them is a good thing, in my books.
For the time being, I've just sewn one cape, and sent it off to Capes 4 Kids, via the Handmade Cooperative. To sew more capes for this wonderful charity, I'll need to register.
The trademarked cape pattern provided by Capes 4 Kids Australia is solely for the use of all the Capes 4 Kids Australia team, and is the only pattern that can be used when sewing for them.

Most little kids, sick or not, love dress up costumes, and superhero capes are an easy one to make.
I last made superhero capes as Christmas presents a few years ago and they have been well used. One side was shiny curtain fabric, with an appliquéd star. Unfortunately, that pattern doesn't seem to be in existence anymore.

What a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing the generous nature of so many people
ReplyDeleteI've made quite a few superhero capes - including 15 Batman capes for a Batman party earlier this year :D The pattern I use the most was an Etsy purpose from GeorgiaLeighDesigns - I like it because the one pattern covers sizes 2/3 - 6/7 :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure these capes cheer even the poorly children such a worthwhile charity
ReplyDeleteGood day to the group! I found this platform after seeing a post from a fellow gamer in Birmingham who had a massive win. I hopped onto anglia bet to see if I could replicate that luck after a long dry spell. I focused mainly on the casino bets and some poker, which turned out to be quite fruitful. The slots online also kept me entertained for a good while. I’m happy that I finally found a place that doesn't feel like a total drain on my wallet every single time I play.
ReplyDeleteI had a quiet evening at home recently and decided to see what people were discussing in online gaming forums. That's when I came across https://africa-bet.org. The range of casino-style games caught my attention, and I was interested in learning more about the options available. For me, discovering something new is part of the appeal, although I always think it's important to set a budget before gambling.
ReplyDeleteEen kennis vertelde laatst dat hij bij games altijd eerst kijkt naar de muziek en de sfeer, terwijl ik juist benieuwd ben naar de spelregels. Daardoor raakten we aan de praat over hoe verschillend moderne gokkasten zijn geworden. Tijdens het zoeken naar voorbeelden kwam ik choco tegen. Vooral de manier waarop spellen zoals Book of Dead en Starburst verschillende bonusfuncties gebruiken, vond ik interessant. Je zou denken dat het allemaal om dezelfde draaiende rollen gaat, maar achter elk spel zit toch een ander ontwerp.
ReplyDeleteΘα πρότεινα σε όσους αγαπούν τα online καζίνο να μην περιορίζονται μόνο στις συζητήσεις για μεγάλα κέρδη. Υπάρχουν πολλά περισσότερα που μπορεί να απολαύσει κανείς, από την ατμόσφαιρα μέχρι την ίδια τη διαδικασία του παιχνιδιού. Προσωπικά έχω βάλει το https://spinania.gr στις επιλογές που χρησιμοποιώ όταν θέλω λίγη διασκέδαση. Μου αρέσει να κρατάω το παιχνίδι ως μια ευχάριστη δραστηριότητα και όχι ως κάτι που πρέπει να αποφέρει αποτέλεσμα. Έτσι το αντιμετωπίζω με μεγαλύτερη άνεση.
