Ms. Molly Monkey

I found this awesome, free pattern for Molly Monkey here and wanted to try my hand at it. It was so fun and such a satisfying project. I couldn't find brown corduroy anywhere, so I had to make do with the stripey stuff, which makes it look like a sock monkey. The skirt is made from Moda's Love is in the Air charm pack (uh oh, I really, really like charm packs. They make me want to quilt. Could I ever be a quilter?)
I really like hand embroidery, so my hubby (who draws way better than I do) traced an "anime face" on.



 
Coco loves it, too. This is just seconds before she ripped off the hat and started gnawing on Molly's head.
