UNIQUE SUPER HEROES !!!

I got a call from a client who wanted something she couldn't find anywhere, something so custom and unique, it would have to be created for her. She wanted to buy gifts for two 5 year old boys (Dov and Evan) who were seriously into superheroes. She did not just want to buy a premade costume, she wanted to create a costume incorporating each boy's name. We at first spoke about sewing up a shirt with a detachable cape. I told her it would be easier, smarter, and more cost effective to buy a shirt, and I would colour coordinate a cape. Then we thought that we would buy a pre-made pyjama, and go from there. I told her I would take care of getting the boys some pyjamas, a task I thought would be super easy. Turns out it was not! After we put our heads together, we decided to buy a shirt with a matching sweat pant and go from that point.

Once the outfits were bought, I went to my local fabric store to see what I could find to make a funky, fun cape. I found the perfect fabric. I decided to have Super Dov embroidered on one shirt, and Evan Man on the other. I thought having a 3 inch D on one cape and a 3 inch E on the other would be a great addition.
When everything came back embroidered, the items were nice, but missing some punch. I decided to get some fabric sparkle paint and embellish and enhance. I then looked at super hero pictures, and noticed they all had a head covering and wrist-guards or gloves. Being a sewer, off we went to the design and sewing room. At the end of the day, each boy had a shirt with a custom shield, a specialized cape, along with a hood of sorts and gloves. According to my client, there are now two extremely happy 5 year old boy superheroes on the loose. It is a bird......No it is a plane......no, it is something unique created by Stitched with love!
