Reversible Super Hero Cape

Since my little one is turning 3, I made him a super hero cape for his birthday. I wanted one that he could put on by himself (using Velcro).

Here's what you need:

• 1 yd green fabric

• 1 yd blue fabric

(I used a broadcloth for the fabric.)

• 4 pieces of different colored felt

• a strip of Velcro

Lay out one of your fabrics with the fold still in it (like on the bolt). Draw with chalk the shape you want. I measured my boy's shoulders as well as the length from his shoulders to just above the ground to help with the shape. The neck end measures 11" wide, and it's 32" long. After you cut your basic shape, use that to cut the other fabric exactly the same.

Then design 2 super hero logos out of the felt. Cut them out.
I sewed the letter to the shield first.
Then pin it to where you want it on the cape and sew around the edges.
After you have each side with the logos sewn on, put the right sides together and sew around the edge of the cape, leaving the neck seam open to turn right side out.
Turn right side out , iron the seams flat, and top stitch around the same 3 sides.
From your leftover fabric, cut a 3" by 22" piece. This will be the collar. Center it on the neck part of the cap and sew along that side.
Then, iron a seam on the top and sides of the collar.
Fold in half and iron.
Sew along all sides of the collar.
Sew the Velcro at each end of the collar.
And you're done!
