Batman Capes & Penguins

My youngest, Ethan, wants to be Batman.  It does not surprise me.  He is always pretending he is Batman, Spiderman, or Superman.  Sometimes even Ironman.  Ethan loves Superheroes!  His favorites are Batman & Spiderman.  Ethan loves watching them as cartoons or the movies.

I was searching for batman cape patterns & I found this site, which lead me to this blog

I went to our JoAnn's for the fabric.  I had the boys with me.  Ash was at her camp.  I got 2 different kinds of fabric.  Of course, a Batman fabric.  The other fabric is shiny black.  I wanted a reversible cape for Ethan.  It came out like a Bat!!  Ethan loves it.  I still can not get the velcro to stay on the shiny black.  I tried sewing it, too.  My needles got all sticky.  Any ideas?

I tied it on here. Ethan is ok with this now, but this was his first time with it like this.

I almost forgot about the Batman Mask.  I have this done, but no pictures yet.  Once the kids go trick or treating, I will add this picture.  We go to Shawn's work for trick or treating.  It is at a nursing home.  We have been doing this for many years.  7 years I think.  It is great.  All inside.  No dealing with uneven pavement for Ashleigh.  No dealing with rain, or snow!

This site you can make it with buttons, but I found it after I was done with Ethan's cape.  Maybe his next one.

If you know my son, Noah, you know what he will be for Halloween.  Yes, a penguin.    Noah & I are making it together.  A nice son-mom time!!  Here is the site I found this costume at: Perky Penguin. More pictures to come!  I thought I took more pictures, but I did not.  I will add it an update to this.

What are you kids going to be?  Ashleigh is going to be a bat!  I will add that all later, too.  I am not making any of her costume.
