We usually start working on costumes for con season/Halloween around March. The kids were really excited about costumes this time around. I love the years they really get into costuming and hate them at the same time. It means lots of work for me. Maybe one day they will decide they want to start making their own.
Supergirl
Cat Woman's costume turned out to be one of my all time favorites so far. She decided she wanted to be Supergirl. It helped that she looks a lot like the new Supergirl from the tv show.

- The top is blue leotard with the Supergirl symbol cut from fabric on my cricut machine. I first attach the iron backing to the fabric which gives it the stability to cut the logo out on the cricut.
- The boots are a goodwill buy covered in leather.
- The skirt is a simple half circle skirt pattern.
- The belt is cut from foam and then covered in gold rub and buff.
- The cape I simply cut out and sewed two pieces together.
Daredevil
Luckily Deadpool decided that he wanted to do something easy since most of my time was consumed with Supergirl. He had been watching Daredevil on Netflix and decided he wanted to be Daredevil before he got the complicated costume. Easy peasy! I bought the boots at a yard sale, he had the pants and shirt, the mask is a fabric remnant I found at the fabric store, and then the weapons are just a couple pieces of a dowel.
Star Lord
Sheldon decided that he wanted to be Star Lord. Batman did most the work for this costume. As usual I took over here and there and of course I did all the sewing.
