Wow! I'm loving these for birthday party gifts. If you can sew a bib, you can sew a cape. The cape takes less than an hour and depending on the intricacy of the superhero logo/s you choose 20-40 minutes for the logos.
- Use a large garbage bag to trace out your pattern and add 5/8" seam allowance.
- Cut from two coordinating fabrics. (I recommend using the same type of fabric for both sides if you are a beginner.)
- Pin right sides together...use twice as many pins as usual if you are using a slippery fabric!
- Sew together leaving the neckline open.
- Remove pins and press.
- Optional: top stitch
- Cut length of double-sided bias tape to length or for a girl, try ironing 1" ribbon in half.
- Pin bias tape/ribbon to neckline.
- Sew full length of bias tape and tack ends or for ribbon, just along the neckline.
- Optional: double stitch neckline for strength
- Download your favorite superhero logos and create paper pattern.
- Apply double sided fusing medium to the logo fabric using manufacturer's directions.
- Cut out logo using Exact-o knife or scissors.
- Apply to cape using manufacturer's directions.
