May 11th 2015 - Making underpants (for a parrot)

May 11th 2015 - Making underpants (for a parrot)

Yes you read that right I am making underpants for a parrot!  Not a real one but a hand puppet, well it was bought as a wash mitt/flannel, but wont be by the time I have finished with it.  This is linked to the story sack I am making at family learning at the school.  The book Pirates love underpants has a parrot in it as well as the monkey.

My kids don't know about the parrot puppet, they have seen most bits that are going in the story sack but I have kept the parrot from them as well as few other bits.  I used this underpant template as the basic idea to make them, but the parrot in the book has shorts as underpants so I had to alter the shape to make them work.

I have sat and stitched the underpants and then stitched them to the puppet.  I plan to add feather to it at the school on wednesday to make it look better.

I think my kids are safe in the knowledge that I wont be starting to make their underpants as it's not that easy!!! LOL!
