After making the Curious George pillow and quilt I decided Adam needed a pair of pajamas or a shirt with George on it. I did some looking around couldn’t find anything that I liked that fit my price range. So I decided to make him a George shirt. I bought him a plain yellow long-sleeved tee shirt for $3.50. I also had to pick up some brown, tan, and white fabric. I probably have plain white in my stash, but forgot to check before we went to the store so I got 6 inches of it to be safe. I already had the thread, fusible web (used to iron the fabric to the shirt), and black fabric marker. I found a Curious George coloring page online, printed it out, and was ready to go.

There are a few things I would do differently if I were to make this shirt again. But overall, I am really pleased with how it turned out.

That picture was taken right after I put the shirt on Adam. He is trying to feed George some dry cereal. It’s wet around bottom because before I could get Adam to wear the shirt he was carrying it around and chewing on it.

And here is my model again, right after lunch and naptime. You can see that George is sporting a few new decorations from lunch. I think he likes his new shirt though – and I do too.
