Nananananana...

In anticipation of meeting the one and only Adam West we put together a costume for our super guy.

A trip to Len's Mill for some felt, foam, and shiny blue material got us under way. We used the following pattern for the mask out of blue felt (we reinforced the 'ears' with foam to stand up). The belt and crest are felt, belt is sewn and velcro fastened.


The cape also has velcro added to easily attach to the shirt which was picked up from H and M (along with the blue boxer briefs).


Watch out villains of Gotham a newly caped crusader is on the scene!

Unfortunately the line ups were too long to see our favourite batman and his batcoptor  :-( 
At least we had our own batman and rebel princess to entertain us!

Knight in shiny armour

Preschool did a study of fairy tales and one Friday all the princes, princesses and knaves came in costume.
We transformed our old darth vader kit into knight's garb with a little cardstock and markers.
Captain America's shield wrapped in tin foil made the ensemble complete!
