Last week Rebecca and I got together to work on cutting our fabric. I got most of the monkey fabric cut out for a crib set, but had to take a brain break and finish later because I forgot to make sure the pattern on the fabric was running the correct direction. I caught myself in time to recover, and ended up refreshing my math skills in the process. I'm using patterns for a crib skirt, fitted sheet, crib bumper, and laundry bag from the book Amy Butler's Little Stitches for Little Ones. I completed the Cheeky Monkey Laundry Bag the other night. I just love all this sock monkey fabric! It was pretty basic and quick to make. It just took a while to iron on all the fusible interfacing, but that's what a television in front of the ironing board streaming BBC productions of Agatha Christie is for, right?! The monkey's head is designed to stick with Velcro to make it easier to wash without reshaping his cute face.

Stacy, That is super cute! You are so talented!! I wish I could sew like that!! Or at all :)
Cute! I love the sock monkey theme - neutral & super fun.
If you end up in need of a bit more monkey fabric, overrainbow.com has some pieces on sale & there is a new line called "good night monkey" coming out.
I did our nursery in Hungry Aphabet Animals - I even found a matching wallpaper border!
