I made my 3 year old a Super hero t-shirt and cape using a great machine applique alphabet I found on Etsy. Many, many thanks go to Tracie Brown and her Etsy shop NewfoundApplique for the great Super hero applique alphabet designs (for machine applique). I simply used a plain white t-shirt, red fabric and a yellow fabric with stars, and sized the 'H' alpha to fit the shirt.
I found the tutorial for the cape on Pinterest from thesoutherninstitute.com. It's under March 1, 2011 by Jenny Yarbrough. I used a childs medium shirt for my 3 year old and did not cut the neck or add velcro since the shirt was a childs size. The yellow fabric is the same and I had a piece of royal blue to make it look sharper.
He was literally running around our house yelling, "I'm a super hero. Whoo hoo!" No one in our family can think of a time he has been so excited.
