Tutorial: Superhero costume with muscle shirt

Kids’ superhero costumes with the muscle shirts crack me up! The big muscles on the small bodies are so cute, and the kids feel so powerful with all those muscles on their chests. Did you know you can make your own? Karly from Paisley Roots shares a couple of tutorials at Craftstorming showing how you can sew your a muscle shirt from a basic t-shirt pattern, and also a matching cape and mask to round out the superhero outfit.

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
