Remember the super hero capes from Christmas last year?
I’ve had tons of requests for my logo patterns so I’ve included them all below in PDFs for FREE!
Batman
Captain America
Green Lantern
Incredibles
Superman
Each pattern piece says what color it should be and has other basic instructions like whether it’s cut on the fold, etc. A few of the Captain America circle pieces are to be cut on a double fold which means you fold the fabric in half one way and then in half the other way so there are two folds.
And I just posted my cape pattern as well, so get busy girls!

Thank you Soooooo much for sharing these and even more so for making them free. My boys are going to be so happy!
Thank you so much for these. I sew specifically for a crisis nursery and the children’s hospital and they will love pillows with these on them!

Hello. I saw these and am going to be making them for my boys! I am a novice and have a question that may be considered silly. I understand the pattern for the super hero symbols, but what about the actual cape? How is that cut out?
I’m working on posting that pattern. Hopefully next week so check back!
What kind of fabric do you use for capes?
Hi, I am planning to make these awesome capes for my boys, thanks for the pattern! But I have a question and maybe I just missed it, but how much material do I need to cut for these patterns?
For the cape you need less than a yard, about 2/3 I think. I think I used scraps for the logos, I can’t remember! You’ll have large scrap after you cut the cape out, big enough to do any of the logos I think, just make sure you have all the right colors. GOod luck!
For these I used broadcloth and regular cotton.
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!! My five kids (including my 13yr old daughter) are totally superhero crazy. So just wondering do you have any plans to include any girl capes?
Not anytime soon…I only have sons. I wish I had a reason to do all kinds of girly things!!
do you line your capes?
Nope, just a single layer of cotton works just great!
THANK YOU for sharing!!!! I can’t wait to make some for Christmas!
Can you tell us right off how much fabric is needed for the basic cape? Thanks. :)
Nevermind, I just read the answer above ;)
I think it was 2/3 yard so get a yard and you’ll have plenty! Or print out the pattern and measure if you want the measurement down to the inch. Have fun!
I just love these. I made four exactly like yours (although my husband gave me hard time over Superman’s not being red…I tried to explain to him that it that the blue was “representing” the suit…:) I had one problem. I used Heat n Bond, as you suggested, but it gummed up my needle and made it impossible to sew. Did you have this problem and if not, what did I do wrong??? Thanks, Ann
I sew with HeatNBond all the time and I’ve never had that problem – I’m not sure why you would…I buy the lightweight kind, is that what you were using? I’m so glad you made all 4!
Your cape & logo pattern made perfect Christmas gifts for my 4 year old son. Thank you – Thank you – Thank you.

Once again thank you :-)
Signed one happy mom
Thank you so much! I cannot wait to make these for my boys!!!
How did you do the hem around the whole cape? And did you just sew the logo on?
I serged the edge of the cape, I didn’t do an actual hem. And I applied the logo to the cape with Heat-n-Bond to make it stick and then sewed all around the edges.
Are the patterns one size fits most?? Or how do you determine size, my grandson is a size 7/8.
This is as big as possible using 44″ wide fabric. I think it will be fine for a 7/8 year old.
You are so kind & generous to share the Batman Cape pattern. I searched all over the internet for a pattern & then thankfully found yours. A friend wants me to make one for her grandson. I’ve made Superman capes but no Batman, so it was wonderful to find your pattern.
Thank you very much for sharing. Warmest regards, Patty
My daughter is making a super hero room for my 4-year old grandson. These patterns are wonderful! Grandma has a lot of work to do!!
