curious george inspired sewing


Have you see then Once Upon a Thread series yet at No Big Dill? It’s sewing projects inspired by literature! When I saw that she would be doing this all month long, I had to join in the fun.



My all time favorite is Curious George. I got the big monkey toy when I was in high school(I know, a little old for that?) and gave it to the baby when he was born, hoping he will fall in love with Curious George, too.



In the original Curious George, George is captured by the man with the yellow hat, and then gets in all kinds of trouble, such as being taken up by a bunch of balloons.



So I made a big yellow hat.


For the baby or the monkey.

It’s a little big for room to grow.

Hoping that it will get us all excited about reading.
George looks excited.
And then we played with balloons.
And crawled all over the book.
The end.
The story ends much happier than this photo implies.

I made a tutorial for the yellow hat here.
For the yellow pants I used this tutorial.

    What a fun post! I love the photos :)

    If you get a chance, I’d love for you to link this up for my Not “Baaad” blog hop, which is up right now. It’s unlike other linkies in that you actually compete with the other linked posts for my Best in Show award :)
