I am SUCH a geek.

I made something AWESOME, and I started with these three thrift store shirts (which cost me fifty cents, fifty cents and a buck fifty, respectively).
I made myself a Batman shirt... but not just any Batman shirt. Behold! With much pinning and sewing (by machine and by hand) and measuring and cutting and vast, sad amounts of seam ripping and re-pinning/measuring/cutting/sewing, detail was added. Lots of detail. Like, for example, a utility belt with four functional pockets:
Complete with utility belt...
Or a hood with bat ears, which I stuffed so they'd stand up:
...and bat-eared hood...
Or even black forearms with requisite trio of arm spikes.
...and arm spikes!
Oh yes.
Da na na na na na na na BATMAN!!
Looking all Heroical.

I'm on the hunt for a red hoodie I can turn into a Flash shirt next.
