Super Bruce

A few months ago my friend blogged about how her little boy uses her slip as a cape. When I read that I decided to make him a cape of his own so I bought some black polyester fabric and black velcro. Last night I finally made the cape for him. I decided to add a "B" (600 point Tahoma font) for Bruce out of some fabric I had with airplanes on it. I delivered it tonight and Super Bruce loved it and was running back and forth with it on!

I love Tahoma. It is the font I use for my e-mail. I had been wondering how you made the "B". :-D

Oh yes, Bruce loves it. He went to a friend's house today and insisted on wearing it over there. Thanks Ellen!

Kids and capes. Even the girls. Funny thing. It's like a train on a dress. I love the line in "Incredibles" when Edna Mode says, "No capes!"

How nice are you?!? What a cool cape. Four little superheroes at my house would be envious of such an awesome cape!

So Bruce was at our house yesterday and he wore it the whole day. It is already being put to good use.

I love the cape too! I spent an ENTIRE morning of Super Saturday making a double sided cape for my son and then he didn't even like it. Well, I take that back..he liked it, he just won't wear it too long because he has sensory problems and the material bothers his neck. If he has a collar shirt on and I put the cape over his collar it works better. I think the "B" cape is AWESOME!

Adorable. You are too creative and too kind. Now Emily can keep her slip for herself!

My sister made a great reversible Superman/Batman cape for my little guy for Christmas. He LOVES it! I love the dress up part of childhood, it's the best. Good for you for contributing to it!
