After a struggle finding appropriate PJs one night (apparently he is too cool for Thomas & Mickey) I decided to try my hand at making him some. I always have a stash of t-shirts bought on clearance, so I grabbed one of those and some felt and got to work. Captain America seemed to be the easiest to tackle and this $1 t-shirt was the perfect blue. I cut some circles out of felt using different plates and cups found around the house and then carefully created an applique. He LOVED it and wore it for 48 straight hours- I finally got him to let me wash it. Next up: Superhero cape. Let's see who the cool parent is now :)

Awwww, that's adorable! I miss those precious days!
I was helping my 18 year old look at old pictures for a graduation slide show he was working on, and I found some old "superhero" pictures too, lol!
He also loved pretending he was Captain Hook, who was hardly a superhero, haha! Thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!

That turned out great! I love it. It is hard to find boys pj's that they like. I always have trouble too. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! My little guy is really into Captain America these days, so I may have to give this a try! Thanks for the idea :-)
