Reversible Cape

I have a niece, CJ, that is turning 3 next week. Her mom is about ready to burst with twins and is stressing about not being able to give CJ a birthday party like they have talked about. So my sister and I are putting together a little party for her and she has requested a ladybug party. So that got me thinking...I can make her a ladybug cape. I'm not sure if she'll like it or not but I thought it sounded fun.
I went out and bought the things I needed and went to work. As I was sewing on the ladybug dots, I thought I could put something on the other side of the cape and make it reversible.
Here is Kaitlyn, my 2 year old, modeling both sides of the cape for me. I just made up my own pattern and it went together fairly quickly.
I think I will put the cape on her at the start of the party so she can wear it for the festivities. I bought some ladybug stickers and will make a big flower on a poster board to play 'stick the ladybug on the flower.'
I think I may have to make up a few capes for my girls as well, or at least for the dress-up box.
