A dignified monster

I just finished making this little monster out of corduroy and red cotton fabric.  Isn't he cute?  I made my own pattern, then went off to work on this fun project.  I had seen a couple little monsters at a popular clothing store and used those as a starting point.  I added my own twist on this by adding button eyes and a bow-tie.  I plan to give him away to one of the new babies in our family that will be arriving in the spring.  I'm using the same fabric to make a matching t-shirt and corduroy pants set.  It will be a fun gift to give when it's all done.
