Calvin Blogs :: Super Rack

Super2
I thought about making my own superhero. Super Rack. Super Rack is a good kind of superhero. He can fly. He can climb up buildings and trees. He can swim underwater for a really long time. He is very very very very powerful. He helps people. That's how I thought about making Super Rack.

Before we made the costume, I  made this poster with all the clothes of Super Rack that I needed to make. I changed them a lot, like at first I thought Super Rack was wearing a red shirt and pants. But then I thought it should be black. And the belt in the picture is brown, but I made a red one. The poster helped me make the costume.

Super3
When I was making the mask I did not know yet about Super Rack and who he would really be. I thought I wanted him to wear a mask, but I didn't want to wear a headband AND the mask. So I'll save the mask for another time. Maybe another halloween.

Super1
I got some of the costume from my dress up - like the cape that mama made a long time ago. And the pants I sewed to be wetsuit pants in the summertime. I went to Salvation Army with Papa to get the black shirt. And I made the belt and the headband on the sewing machine.

This is Super Rack in his full costume. And today is Halloween! Happy Halloween!

Super Rack is the coolest looking Super Hero I've seen. He's trendy, fashionable, fun, rocker.

Man! I wish I could have a costume as cool as this one! What a smart boy you are....... very, very, very cool too!

Have fun Trick-or-Treating...... my little girl wants to be Snow White tonight. I think the only super power Snow White has is singing very high pitched. VERY!

Calvin, your creation of Super Rack is so completely awesome! I'm so impressed. I absolutely love the final costume - the headband, the cape, the belt - everything. You are an amazing creative kid!! Hope you have a great time trick or treating. Happy Halloween!

Calvin,

You are fun, smart and creative. It doesn't get any better than that.

calvin, i hope you have a lot of spooky fun today. i love your costume.

very cool calvin! i love how you made a poster to plan out super rack's outfit to help you once you started sewing it. this is the best halloween costume i've seen yet.

DUDE! Love the Super Rack!!! xo

Calvin, I may try and find a reason to be rescued today because I would love to get a closer look that awesome get-up. Wow, a superhero that can sew...it doesn't get any better than that.

ps. does your cape go SWOOOSH when you run fast or fly?

Bravo. That is a super cool costume. Happy Halloween.

Calvin, your costume ROCKS!!! Watch out, here comes SUPER RACK!!! Happy Halloween ;)

Great job, Calvin! You look super!

"But then I thought it should be black. And the belt in the picture is brown, but I made a red one."

Brilliant! And I love the poster you made for working out the process and details, I could learn a lot from you.

Happy Halloween Super Rack!!!

Super Rack, my hero!

Yay for Calvin! Yay for Super Rack! Happy Halloween to all!

Go get'um Super R.

super rack rocks, dude.
happy halloween!

That is one great get-up! And a talented boy to boot! Happy Halloween Super Rack.

You did a great job!!! My 8 year old son likes to make up his own super heroes too. It's great to be original. Have a great day~

Gillen and Jesse (my boys who are 10 and 7) are so impressed. They both said, "wow!". Then Jesse said, "Can my name be Calvin?" and Gillen said, "Me too." They are also very impressed with Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes" books but you are what got them wanting the name.

Oh my goodness, he looks SO much like you in that photo!

Dude! Super Rack is sweet and you did an awesome job with the costume. I think you are quite right about changing the colour of the belt, and yes, I think that the mask would have been too much this time.

Happy Hallowe'en, Calvin, er, I mean, Super Rack!

wow! very neat, calvin!

my favorite part is the headband.

good job!

:)

SUPER RACK TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!
Happy Halloween!

Fabulous get-up, Calvin! Even without the costume, you are still a sewing super-hero!

Cool costume Calvin! I love how you really got to know your character as you developed the costume!

Great Costume Calvin!!! You are so good with the sewing machine! I love how you made your poster to help you with the costume! Very smart idea. I'll be borrowing that next time I have a big project. I think it will help me focus and not forget anything!

That's beautifull Calvin. Happy Haloween to you.
I live far away in the country where Hans Christian Andersen was born. Maybe you can find it on a map.
Love to you and your family

What a great and creative costume Calvin! Happy Halloween!

Calvin,
Thank you for being a good role model for my 5 year old sewing son!
Have a fun time tonight for Halloween.
Selah

Wow you are really smart - ideas AND sewing AND a mask?? Such a talent!

Oh! Now that is sweet. :)
