mini-heroes coming at cha!

How sweet are these little t-shirts?!
I bought these for my godson's birthday who is turning one in a week! They may look like t-shirts...but they have a little detachable capes on their shoulders!
So little Henry can run around with his little cape fluttering behind him, pretending he is the man of steel or the dark knight! He is also going to get a spiderman teddy....as hubby insisted some Marvel goodness gets thrown in for good measures!
I say, lets them hooked whilst they are young!
...wish they do T-shirts like these for adults...


If you want these little awesome tees...you can find them in H&M!

crafted Mini-batman

For one of my prizes in a recent competition, the winner (steve) chose to have a mini-batman made up for him.
 here he is in process, crafted out of a variety of felt colours.

I drew up the pattern and slowly cute them out by hand and stitched with machine and by hand the little dude together.

 The most fiddliest piece to draw and cut out is the batman logo. see his little hand embroided hard-set mouth?

 Now wearing his little cape, hand stitched to his shoulders and looking more like the dark knight we all know!

Batman wearing his patented stern expression!

I really enjoyed making him and designing him to be made in fabric form and chosing a simple but effect design-way to suit him.
I could see myself making a whole bunch of little characters in this design-way! So we shall see!

What do you think?

Excuse the corny title.
*ehem*
The new dark Knight movie is out and after seeing it, I am sad that the trilogy has come to an end and Christian Bale will always for me be the best batman there is.
And batman got his happy ever after! Naaaaaaaaw!!!

To celebrate, I thought I share some crafty stuff in the Batman theme that I love, to celebrate!
