Andrew

My friend Andrew lives in Hong Kong, where for a few bucks you can get anything tailored for you from scratch just by showing the tailor a picture of what you want and supplying the fabric.

He wanted a nineteenth-century bathing suit—and he got some for his Canadian friends too.

And...then, they made a calendar???!







Yep.

Andrew and Ivy just had a baby, and I KNOW that baby's gonna get a bathing suit too. So I made a bear for him, to match.







Yes, his legs point in rawther diff'rent directions (IT'S HARDER THAN YOU THINK TO SEW THOSE SUCKERS ON RIGHT!). I like to imagine he's doing that move gymnasts do at the end of their routines.



Like, ta-daaaaaaaaaa!

Snicker*

(The bear's wearing this hat, cause it's too big for Theo.)
