It's a bird, it's a plane, it's SUPERMAN!!!!!
Dakota loves to wear costumes and pretend he is super heroes. When my husband found these shirts at Old Navy we knew we needed to get these for Dakota's birthday. I wanted to make him a cape to go with the shirt so my husband suggested making a cape that attached tothe shirt (that way they are always together and we won't be searching for one or the other). They turned out really nice!
Here is what I did
Lay shirt on top of fabic and cut the top of the fabric to match the neckline and shoulders of the shirt.
Fold over edge of fabric 1/2" and zig zag stitch all edges.
Now it's time to make your emblem. I just traced the emblem on the front of the shirt onto freezer paper.
Cut it out so it looks like this.
Iron it, shimy side down, to the felt.
Using a fabric pen trace your stencil. Inside and outside edges.
Cut it out leaving 1/2" around outer edge.
Iron on WonderUnder and then peel off paper backing.
Iron emblem onto cape. Make sure to use a pressing cloth so you don't melt the felt.
Sew emblem stitching on the outer black line.
Pin cape to back of shirt and sew in place.
