T-shirt refashioning meets make-me-a-superhero! This group of Generation T die-hards is courtesy of my sister, a card-carrying member of Sunday Recess, a co-ed multi-sport recreation league (read: they know how to party). 
Here are some photos from her team’s recent Tee Party, at which they refashioned T-shirts into superhero capes (from Generation T: Beyond Fashion, project #55 “Mighty My Tee”) in preparation for a massive scavenger hunt (or Avenger Hunt, from the looks of it). The no-sew cape project can be cut out in mere seconds, and the stenciled embellishments the team added bring the perfect amount of superhero swagger.
Simply add markers, paints, or iron-ons (and maybe some scrap cardboard to make stencils) to your otherwise slim list of materials (scissors!), and you’re moments away from claiming and designing your own superhero identity (need inspiration from the experts?). My sister’s superhero identity is, of course, Super Awesome (I’m developing her nemesis, Wicked Awesome, to lurk menacingly in the shadows in a constant quest to steal some of the remarkable awesomeness for herself).
Super Awesome travels both alone and with the Sunday Recess League of Extraordinary Superheroes to spread the awesome. Here, she’s flanked by other members of her mysterious superhero posse as they disappear into the night to save the world!
And then, of course, the whole renegade crew powers on ’til dawn and beyond to attend actual Sunday Recess games several days later (note the daytime pictures!). They really don’t stop spreading the fun! (And the Hello Kitty cape is a total WIN!)
And, I would be terribly remiss not to mention that you can host your very own Tee Party (superhero-themed or not) at home! What are you waiting for? Grab your scissors and get the party started.
