3. Sew sleeves and pants: Sew together the red and green portions for the sleeves and pants. Make sure to sew along the edges of the sleeves and along the inseam of the pants.
4. Create a shirt: Sew together two layers of red fabric to create the torso portion of the costume. Attach it to the green sleeves by stitching them at both shoulder points.
5. Add details to shirt: Attach your Robin logo patch or printout onto the center of the red shirt using either fabric glue or by sewing it on.
6. Create belt: Cut yellow fabric in a strip long enough to wrap around your waist comfortably with overlap. Sew ends together to form a circle. You can choose whether you want it wide or narrow depending on your personal preference.

11. Assemble the costume: Put on the pants, shirt, gloves, shoes, and cape. Secure the cape around your neck using velcro or a safety pin.
