It's made mostly of recycled fabric, plus a few fabric scraps I had laying around. Obviously, an old pair of jeans was used, but not so obviously, Monkey's shirt is the outer lining of a cloth diaper I made- I liked to make the cloth diapers look real snazzy! Anyhow, I thought the diaper was good because it looks good, but also because Gina's blog is called "Poo Corner," so what could be more appropriate?
I fell in love with the monkey a bit before I mailed him. I know it's wrong, but how can something so wrong feel so right?
So cute! Shall I assume this was made without a pattern too? (you patternless people kill me!)
ReplyDeleteGina brought the Monkey to my house to show me...and it is awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, no pattern, though I did print off a picture of a monkey quilt from the internet somewhere. It was much smaller, and didn't really look quite like this, but it gave me some idea of what to do. It most definitely wasn't wearing jeans, or trousers of any kind. I think the trousers make him look portly, as a proper monkey should.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I confess, Holly, I really like the idea of Gina lugging it around town to show people! I'm glad you like it. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, I adore the monkey. As Holly pointed out when I took it to her house, if I were a monkey, that is exactly what I would look like!
