I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Santa Claus-style cape

A Santa-style cape that adds a festive touch to all kinds of outfits, from Christmas costumes to everyday clothes.

Why not try making a Christmas outfit that doesn’t require a pattern? Draw a circle on red felt fabric and cut it into a cape silhouette.

Create a collar to fit your child’s size, then sew pom-pom trim around the edge.

Punch a hole where you’ll attach the plastic snaps, and install them using the socket, stud, and a hand press.

Finally, decorate with craft pom-poms using a hot glue gun, and you’re done.

Let’s make a Santa apron using 100-yen shop felt, perfect for a child’s Santa costume! For small children, you can make it with just one large sheet of felt from the 100-yen shop.

It’s recommended to prepare a pattern in advance because it’s convenient! Simply sew together the front bodice, the apron section, and the belt section.

If you add pleats to the apron part, it will look like a skirt and be super cute.

You can also decorate it with yarn pom-poms or ribbons to give it a lovely finish.
