KAI'S EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT

Past several months Kai has been working on his Eagle Scout project.
 
He is making Super Hero Capes for Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. 
 
He is making two sided capes,
where one side is plain so the children can decorate them and
 
make them their own.
 
Our friends and neighbors were very generous with fabric donations, and it kept Kai busy,
cutting the fabric in preparation for his sewing day.
 
Here is a link to the previous project posting.
 
Once he had all the fabric cut...about 120 cape pieces...which would make 60 capes, he was ready to schedule our church building for his Eagle Scout Project Sew-in Day.
 
He had a pinning station, ironing station, turning-the-fabric-outside-in, and sewing station...
and of course a treat station to keep the workers going strong.
 
He had scheduled the building for four hours, 8-12,
and five minutes to 12 we finished the last cape.
 
It was a great project, and lots of people came to help him. 
Thank you for all the volunteers. 
 
He could not had done it without all the help from our friends.
 
 
Some samples Kai had prepared for people to see
 
Pinning...
 
 
 
Sewing...
 
 
Markus sewed several capes but once the girls showed up he lost his focus and felt the need to supervise/entertain the girls
 
 
Steaming the fabric pieces...
 
 
Ironing station...
 
 
 
Jason was in charge of the ironing station and sent many of the kids to soak their burns in ice... 
 
 
 
What a fun project this was!
 
After the school gets out Kai will take the capes and deliver them to the hospital in Salt Lake City.
