Reversible Super Hero Capes

I made Reversible Super Hero Capes out of felt for my niece and nephews
and for my son Travis for Christmas.

I decided that instead of doing specific superheros, 

I wanted to make it more personal and do their initial on one side.

That way it's Super Caleb, Super Maddie, Super Gilbert, Super Toby and Super Travis!

 I appliqued their initial onto a black circle of felt that was made using a bowl from my kitchen and then appliqued that onto the center of the felt cape piece,
which I cut out freehand.

Here is G for Super Gilbert!

On the reverse side I used a lighting bolt that I got from The Long Thread. I appliqued this to the center of the cape, then sewed the two pieces right sides together, left an opening a few inches wide, turned it and top stitched it. 

Then I sewed velcro to the flaps and I was done!

Now the only bummer is that when a couple of the older kids(18 year old brother and 20 year old brother) saw them they asked me to make one for them! Gah! I think I am going to have to use a lighter fabric as theirs will be so much larger. I had already planned to make one for my daughter and my two youngest siblings, so I will just do it all at once.

I will be linking up with some of these lovely blogs:)
