Another bunny

Uncle Jon’s Shirt….
The Bean’s godfather gave us one of his company’s shirts a few years ago….yesterday, I realized that, like the boxers I made a few months ago, a large t-shirt could easily make a suit for a small toddler…It worked out PERFECTLY, see:and you can still see all the logo on the back!this would probably be […]
