Instead of PJ's this year, my boys are getting these capes inspired by Martha in this article. Of course, I had to SIMPLIFY, to make it work for me and here are my changes:
My tools and materials:
Bath Towel
Washcloth
Superhero Cape Template (from the link above)
Felt
Paper-backed fusible web
Straight Pins
Sewing Scissors
Matching Thread
Ironable Velcro (much easier than sewing on velcro)
I pretty much followed her directions, except I just appliqued the shield and the lightning bolt using the fusible web and a zig-zag stich.
I did not do a button and button hole like she did. I just followed the directions from the velcro to iron on a closure for the front to go around their necks. Measure around your neck (or your childs if it's not a surprise), and then iron one on the front of the towel, and the opposite piece on the back of the towel.
I've been meaning to make my boys these for a long time now. Check, check, check that off my list.
