SUPERHEROES!!!

January 31, 2011
My friend, Jackie, wanted to learn how to make a superhero cape for her son, Kyle. So after story time at the library one day, she came by for a little play date and sewing lesson. The previous night, she made a mask for Kyle. She brought me the template she made (as well as a girly one) and the materials. Here's Ethan's mask (now I just need to make the poor boy a cape!):
