Itty Bitty Captain America!  Made with a very modified Kwik Sew pattern 2711, which is actually a cat/dog/rabbit/pumpkin pattern.
Here is the front:


The star and the A are white fabric cut to shape and appliqued on, attached with fusible web and sewn with a zigzag around.  The wings on the side of the head are two pieces with interfacing in between, with the "feathers" sort of quilted on, following the old classic design from the comic books.  
 


The mask is a separate piece.


I couldn't find a striped fabric that I really liked for the belly, so I had to assemble it out of red and white fabric sewn into stripes.  They are also attached with fusible web and then sewn around the edge for extra strength.  

Here is a shot of the back.  I sewed a velcro loop onto the back to hold his shield, which is the only part of the costume that was store bought (and actually bought as a plaything, not for the costume).


I made his brother a Perry the Platypus costume, so they made an interesting pair trick-or-treating.

This is the first time I've seen here, and in the thumbnail I seriously thought it was a real person.  Amazing!

I have a thing about aprons.  Here are ones I've done over the past few months.

This is my favorite (and newest) one at the moment.  Body and pocket are quilting cotton, lining and ties are a light broadcloth.


This is one is a bit heavy for some reason, and the pockets came out a bit crooked, but still cute.  Quilting cotton body, ties, and pockets, muslin lining.


Another of my favorites.  My apple apron.  Quilting cotton body, muslin lining, broadcloth ties and pocket.


They look a little awkward lying flat without a dress form (which I will soon remedy), but they look nice on an actual person.

You painted it?!  That is fantastic!  I love the design!  Kind of funky but classic at the same time.  Nice job!
