Cookie Monster

From: Sesame Street
Date: 2001
Pattern(s) used: Simplicity 4011

Fabric Swatch(s):

He begged and pleaded with me to be Cookie Monster, so I went for it! That was as LOT of blue fuzzy furr, let me tell you! Also, the pattern was too small, so I had to make it bigger by guesswork. I also mis-calculated the zipper, which was too short. And I put it in the back because I thought it looked stupid in the front - which meant every time he had to pee, I had to let him out of it. XD I used Styrofoam balls with googly eyes glued onto it.

Favorite part: the fact that I had a 6'4" Cookie Monster! And the googly eyes. Dan liked it so much he dressed up this year (2006) on Halloween night to give out candy!

Least favorite part: the fabric - my machine coughed blue fur for months! Also, it took so long to make, I had no time to make myself a costume. Dan's least favorite part - it was hot, and he couldn't pee without me. haha.
