Super Girl Cape

Miss Macyn is very attached to her super girl shirt and she likes to run around with a dish towel tied around her neck to improvise a cape.  That was all I needed to hear to get motivated to make her a real super girl cape! 

(She does not look too happy to be posing for a picture this day !)

I used WORD to create a circle and a large M.  Then I went online to Google Images and typed in "super hero lightening bolt" and found one I could print.

 

I had everything else in my craft room.  I made the back of the cape purple and the underside pink.......

I traced the circle onto a light weight adhesive bond paper then ironed that onto a scrap of pink material, then cut out the circle and heat bonded it to the purple part of the cape with my iron....

I used a tight zig zag stitch around the circle.  Next came the lightening bolt, I applied it the same way using some yellow fabric.....

Now it was time for the "M".......

After everything was stitched securely I pinned the two sides of the cape right sides together and stitched about 1/4" all the way around leaving a small opening to turn it right side....

I then pressed it again using lots of steam and hand stitched the opening closed.  I used Velcro so Macyn can learn to put it on and take it off by herself.

After the cape gets delivered I will come back and add a picture of Macyn sporting her new fashion accessory.
