No more Logan, tutu's, and toile...

...At least we hope! As a desperate attempt to get Logan out of Rachel's dress-ups and into something a little more gender appropriate, I spent last week making these capes for him. They are actually tons easier than they look (about 1 hour per cape) and way cuter in person! (they are hard to photograph because they are super shiny!) I knew if I was going to make him some capes that he would actually wear, the material would have to be shiny and "pretty" I let him come to Hobby Lobby with me to pick out the fabric and he was so dang excited. Before I got them finished I would just tie the material around his neck and he would through a huge tantrum until I would take it off, and re-tie it around him like a dress! Max in turn begged me to hurry and finish the capes. I was really worried that this plan wasn't going to work, but so far so good!
The first day I finished them, he wore the superman cape to a couple of stores. We got stopped by several people and they all told him how awesome he looked! He was so dang proud and excited to be wearing them! I'd like to thank all those complete strangers for telling him how cool he looked - it totally sealed the deal!

The only downfall to the capes is that he gets super hyped up when he's wearing them and runs around like a holy terror! He also thinks he can jump off anything (than again what kid in a cape doesn't think that!) The best part, they were only about $5 each to make! I still have a lime green one to finish, it will have the "flash" logo on it. Yes I know flash is supposed to be on red, but we already had a red one and he really wanted a green cape.

Blue = Captain America (I know he doesn't have a cape but who cares)

Red = Super Man

Silver = Batman (my personal favorite!)

Green = Flash (coming soon)

I'm also going to make a pink one for Rachel. Click on any of the pictures to enlarge them and you can see how super shiny this fabric is - it's awesome!!!
