{a special monkey blanket}

This little blanket was so fun. Janice wanted a security blanket with a monkey attached for her little one. So I used a cute monkey pattern from Melly & Me and attached it to a little blanket that I made from scratch.

I love how it turned out and really wish I was sewing these when my kids were little.

If you'd like to order a custom made animal security blanket like this, head over to my Etsy Shop and you can send me a message if you don't find what you'd like and request something different.
