Big sister

I can't forget Gia's big sister,  I made her a gift too - a baby sock monkey.  For Christmas I made her a regular sized sock monkey so I purchased the smallest red heeled socks available and improvised a baby monkey.  It came out adorable.  He it is next to the regular sized monkey.  They are sock monkey pals.

Of course I took it a few steps further.  I have a Cabbage Patch Kids pattern from the 80s for a doll carrier.  I made the carrier for the new big sister to tend to her babies. It includes a pillow, quilt and a flannel receiving blanket.   Also, I fabricated some diapers that would fit on this baby sock monkey.

She plays with her babies a lot and the carrier is big enough for her other babies too.  She will be a busy big sister.

Summer is here and sewing time gets limited, but I have a few projects in the making.  Hope to finish more of them soon and check them off my list so they don't become another UFO.
