This past weekend I was all over the Monkey theme. A friend of mine has a daughter that is due soon. She wanted a outfit for newborn baby boy to wear home from the hospital. I gave her a few choices, and the picture below is what she wanted.
This turned out so very sweet and I fell in love with Mr. Monkey. I have made this outfit with long sleeves, but this is the first short sleeved version. I really like the long sleeves, but the short sleeves look great. I may try this one again. We will see if there is any interest.
So, after making precious outfit #1, I decided that Mr. Monkey needed to be on another gem of an outfit. So, I made the one you see below.
This one turned out even better. It is a 0-6 months size. Can't you just see your newborn baby boy wearing this home from the hospital or for those first pictures. I love this monkey. He just looks so sweet. Also, the colors of this one turned out great. It is a brown plaid, and fully lined with cream batiste. I just have to add buttons and some snaps.
So, now that I have grown attached to Mr. Monkey, I am toying with the idea of doing him in girl colors. So, I guess he would be Ms. Monkey. I am thinking that a pink monkey with a white face would be very cute.
Well, I do have to put Mr. and Ms. Monkey aside for a few days. I am wanting to make a Christmas version of the dress below.
This dress is one of my favorites and it always looks so beautiful. I just know that in Christmas colors it would look awesome. So, be looking for pictures and listings on Etsy for this one. I can't wait.
