My 3 Little Monkeys

Last fall just around the time that I found out that I was expecting baby #3, I started searching for something special that I could make for the girls and the new baby, and while visiting one of my favorite crafty blogs I stumbled upon the most adorable and free pattern on mmmcrafts for "Molly Monkeys" . It was the perfect gift. The pattern was very easy to follow. Finding the time to work on them, however, proved to be quite difficult! But I managed to finish them just in time for Chloe's arrival ;)

I made them with the leftover material from the quilt I am also making for the girls.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to sew and create things. Well, I recently got into making softies for my Girls. A kind of homemade stuffed animal or doll. Making them is loads of fun and really easy. You can get creative with the fabric textures and patterns, the kids love them. It's been wonderful teaching Lily (my oldest who is now 2.5) how to sew. I am so blessed my mom took the time to teach me. This is a picture of the first one we made together. A rabbit named Jackie. She is made from apholstry fabric, some brown satin ribbon, and a few buttons for eyes and decoration.
