Are you a female under the age of twelve? Or a Mom to one? Then the names Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Hans are probably household names for you now. Are you experiencing irrepressible urges to build a snowman? Considering a reindeer as a pet? Daydreaming about how cool it would be to make slushies with the mere flick of a hand? Ah, yes, you’ve been bitten by the Frozen bug.
I’m a little late to the Frozen lovefest. We somehow avoided seeing Frozen in the movie theaters and I really wasn’t even familiar with the music from the movie until John Travolta’s Oscar’s ceremony flub drew extra (but deserved!) attention to Idina Menzel and the song “Let it Go”. Most of the adolescent world (especially the female population) was all abuzz about this movie, and I was meanwhile shrugging it off as “Eh, another Disney movie. We’ll rent it at some point. Maybe.”
My introduction to the movie came about in a rather unconventional way. Our neighbors have two young Frozen-obsessed daughters and when conversation turned to making an Elsa cape for the elder daughter, I found myself searching Google for images of Elsa and her snow queen attire and watching YouTube videos of “Let it Go” enough times that I found myself singing the refrain at random times throughout the day.
And, of course, what would Elsa be without Anna? After all, it was the perfect situation — I was sewing for two sisters!
Since making these capes, I have seen Frozen, twice. And since we own the DVD, I’m sure that number will keep going up! Confession: part of my hesitation in running out to the theater for this movie was a concern that it would be yet another “girl needs boy to rescue/love/fulfill her” story. No thank you. But … I was so happily surprised by this movie. A big high five to Disney.
This was a really fun project to sew. I even acquired a few new tricks along the way. Rolled edges using the serger, woo hoo! Now that is something worth changing the color of your serger thread for! (Yes, Mom, I just ended that sentence with a preposition. Although with my Catholic grammar school education, I nearly started to sweat with guilt just typing it.)
PS — It turns out that photographing a cape is harder than it seems. I forced cajoled my son into trying on the capes for a couple shots to give a sense of what they look like when worn. He was NOT happy, as evidenced by the puss on his face in the middle photo below. But I couldn’t let his hard work go to waste, so here you go!
