If you have a child under the age of 6 you have probably seen this show. Kids LOVE it (and I'll bet a certain percent of the college population does too- watch it and you'll see what I mean). My 1 and 4 year olds can't get enough of it! It's only on weekends on Noggin. Well, in the show some of the kids dance wearing clothes with character faces on them. You can't find these clothes ANYWHERE. Sure they sell T-shirts online, but it's not the same as what the kids on the show wear! So when my 4 year old begged me, I said I'd make him a shirt. I made him a Brobee shirt (the little green one- not sure when that song will leave my brain). I finished it last night and he wore it all day today. We went to the gym, where he palyed in the kids section. The other kids loved it. Then Target, where every little kid we passed would point and say "Look Mama, He's got a Yo Gabba Gabba shirt on". Then the mall, and then the grocery store, all getting the same comments. My son is so proud to have the shirt he kept hugging me and thanking me all day. I have to admit it came out pretty cool. DJ Lance Rock would be proud. I made his dark green fur and unibrow from fuzzy material, so it's fun to touch too. Maybe I'll make myself one as well. But first he's got me commited to making two more, Muno is next and then Plex. I think I have to, just so he can have something else to wear because right now he's saying he's going to wear this shirt every day! Oh, and I feel bad for all the other Mama's we saw today too. They will probably be searching stores and websites looking for one for their kids! Here's some pictures:

so cute! what did you use to make the face?
I used a knit for the light green, and white and scrap cotton for the black and red. I used Heat n' Bond underneath the fabrics, the kind you still have to stitch with(Under Wonder would work too)and ironed some scrap interfacing to the inside. It was a fun project! Do you want one?
