Luke's Cape

For weeks, Luke has gone back and forth trying to decide what he wants to be for Halloween.

When he decided he wanted to be Darth Vader, Grandma offered to make him a cape.

When she told Luke she was going to start making his cape, Luke immediately started drawing up plans of his own.He brought grandma tiny little drawings of what he expected his cape to look like. When he presented his instructions to grandma. His instructions were filled with buttons and holes and all kinds of intricate designs.

Grandma was extremely impressed with Luke's design, but told him it was too hard for her to make and so she was just going to make him a simple, black cape.

When the cape was finished, I, excitedly approached Luke and told him how cool I thought his cape was.

He said, somewhat disappointed, "Yeah, I know, but she didn't follow my instructions!"

The next thing I know, he's upstairs, cutting fabric, gluing buttons, cutting holes, adding rope, etc.

So, this is Luke's cape...he designed it himself, and followed his own instructions! It's a little too small to wear, but he is so proud of it!
