I have been working on things and taking pictures, I just haven't been able to blog about them. But, I'm going to start now.
I love the Sock Monkey! I had one when I was a child (I actually still have it) and it is just a little bit nostalgic. I saw this cute fabric and had to get it (got it here). Now what to do with it? Well, I held on to it for a long time before I did anything with it. It was just too cute to even cut up (almost). ;o)
Well my first project were these burp cloths (check them out here) as a baby gift. Then I made this outfit...
I used a colorful sock monkey print and then the sock monkey 'knit' print. It is a pillowcase dress/top and ruffled pants. I think it would be cute as is or you can put a red long sleeve shirt under the dress/top if it is cool. You could also pair the pants with a solid color top (choose any color in the print). Would look great with a very colorful hair bow.
Now, what to do with it? I just don't think any of my boys would wear it (and if they did Frank would get us all).

While I was reading, I was wondering what you were going to do with it :-) I have been meaning to make Bethany some outfits like that. I should get you to show me. I still have my original sock monkey my aunt made me when I was little. Bethany plays with it now. Connie L
