Captain America and Orange day

For homecoming week the kids had an Avengers day. I made David this shirt for Captain America. He was sick that day and didn't wear it to school, but he did wear it the next day. I used 3 different tee shirts to make this and I think it turned out great.
 they also had a class color day. David had a game that day so he wore his jersey, but emilee's class color was orange. I can't believe she has no orange in her closet. I made her this shirt knowing she wouldn't wear it and I was right. It's too small. I needed to use a stretchier material, but I used what I had. I added a tag I embroidered on a piece of cotton ribbon, and I used a stretchy turquoise netting for the neck and sleeves. I will make this pattern again as  plain tee using stretchy cotton. I'm so glad Claire is smaller and she will wear this shirt.
 Figures that when I do make something Emilee likes, it does not fit.
