A rainbow bird costume for dress-up days, school plays and big imaginations. 🌈
Anita has a layered rainbow wing cape with rounded feather panels, elastic shoulder and wrist straps, and a matching bird eye mask.
It slips on over everyday clothes, and the simple appliqué shapes make it a quick, happy sew.
One of the first costumes I ever made: my friend's daughter asked me 48 hours before Halloween, and I designed and sewed it just in time. She was over the moon.
