I saw this on my fave crafting blog a while back, but since her pattern was very involved and I am lacking time I decided to put it on my "some day" list of projects. But Rex is at the superhero age now, and I became tired of tying his knitty blanket around his neck over and over and over (etc.) again that I caved and made a much simpler version out of felt (ha, far less sewing but still sturdy!!). He adores it and it was super cheap and just as easy. I think the hardest part was the stupid R on the back. He simply could not do the star or lightning bolt the pattern offered, so he & Todd decided an R with flames coming out of the tips would best represent his alter ego Rex Rocket. Obviously they were not doing the cutting and sewing...

Rex Rocket
Since I was just talking about crafting the other day I figured I should share my latest creation...the superhero cape.
