“Here he comes to save the day!!!”

In an effort to provide play /dress-up clothes for my children, I have tinkered with making super hero capes. 

Capes are pretty interesting and it is something that you can be really creative with.  Check out this one I made for a birthday gift….see picture below. 

I found just the right “silky” skirt from my favorite thrift store and then sewed on felt for the fun image.  Use your imagination.  Simple pictures could include initials, lighting bolt, cross, tree, flower, crown…and the list goes on!  You could even add extra details like sequins or renaissance-ish hood.  I finished my cape with a simple velcro closure.  This serves two purposes—1)  Easy dress-up for little hands to do themselves and 2)  With the velcro, it would rip apart and keep your child safe if he ever got entangled in a tree or such.

Up, up and AWAY!!!
