Holy Cape Batman

Last year for Halloween brother wanted to be batman and I was all too happy to help him.  I made him this simple cape and a mask with my mad sewing skills.  I think it only took about 3 hours.  Okay, so as you may have guessed I'm not quite proficient with my sewing machine seeing as this should have probably taken only 1 hour or maybe even less.  However he was thrilled and his preschool teacher even commented on my work so I guess the 3 hours was well worth it!  Oh who am I kidding, I would have spent double that time to make him happy.

And some pics for good measure.  The cape I made reversible just in case in later years he wanted something different.  The back is lined in blue.

The mask is made out of felt with elastic sewn onto the sides so he could easily slip it on and off.  I also sewed a piece of fabric in the same pattern onto the back of the mask because I was worried that the felt would feel a tad scratchy.
