He wanted to be his big sisters sidekick when she went as Batman for Halloween so I created a no sew Robin costume.

Dye the t-shirt and the leggings green and the leotard red following the instructions on your fabric dye kit.

The higher the content of cotton in your fabric the better it takes the dye.

Logo

Print out your logo on the iron on transfer paper, cut out, and iron in the top right corner of the leotard.

Make sure to follow the directions for the iron on transfer paper.

Cut the front panel and sleeves off of the men's x-large t-shirt leaving the collar intact.

Cut a triangle out of the back panel of the shirt creating the cape
