Super Alex

Right after I finished my turtle hottie and posted him off, I got stuck into this super-hero cape for Noah's little friend Alex from kindergarten. Alex turned five and had a scooter party at the local skate rink on the weekend. All those little kids looked so cute on their scooters (and their little brothers and sisters on their push-along bikes were pretty cute too).


I made this cape a little longer than Liam's and Noah's as I saw Amélie running about with one on the other day and it made me realise how much taller the kids have gotten since I made theirs. The super-logo A on the back I designed especially for Alex. I hope he enjoys it. The capes I made for my boys still get heaps of use and I'm pretty sure my nephews like theirs.

For this project, I used four fat quarters of fabric.

Belated Christmas Gifts

Another couple of Super-Hero capes with specially designed super hero emblems for some more nephews. Hopefully these will be in the post on Monday. I have one more really late Christmas present to get ready before they go.

Super Hero Capes

I made these superhero capes for some of my nephews. I've made some for my boys before and they are very popular and get lots of use, so hopefully their cousins will like them too. I'm a bit unsure what to make for their older cousins, but they won't be down until after Christmas so I have a bit of time up my sleeve. The pencil rolls last year seemed to go down well, and I know they are all still using their car-bags.



The super hero emblems this time, were a collaboration between myself and Maxx. Maxx wanted to be a part of the process and design the emblems himself. I really do have trouble leaving something like that entirely to someone else, it's the control-freak in me. But they were mostly his design with a bit of a tweak here and there from me.



Noah wants me to make super-hero capes for Uncle Ben and Uncle Al, too. If only I had all the time and money and resources to make everything I wanted to before Christmas...



Anyway, I'd better get back to it, there are still plenty of Christmas gifts still to make!

My Little Super Heros

He flies through the air




Smarter than a speeding bullet



Cuter than a locomotive



Able to leap tall Duplo towers in a single bound.





Look - up in the sky



It's a bird



No, no, it's a plane



It's Super Noah!



And Super Liam!



Wait? Where did he go?



Did I mention, able to disappear in seconds?
