One weekend while trying to go through my things to clear out my bedroom at home, I came across a bunch of old patterns that I had once wanted to save... in case I ever started making clothes. Well I'm making clothes now so I decided to bring them back with me to the cities to see if I wanted to work on any of the patterns. There was one pattern in particular that I wanted to use. It is toddler sun dress from 1985 that I had worn when I was little; thank you grams! I told my mom I wanted to try the pattern and she commissioned a little outfit to give to her friend that has a little girl. We picked out fabric and decided on a monkey to be the character stitched on the dress. So, the first steps included drawing up a monkey and creating a pattern for it. 
Here are the fabrics for the two sides of the dress and for Monkey.
Here is Monkey after a gazillion hours of hand stitching! haha I should get compensated for at least the effort put into that little part!
Monkey side of the completed reversible dress.
Since the back flaps open, baby will need to cover her bum so the reversible dress comes with two pairs of little baby bottoms.
The dress reversed, showing the mix and match of solid and pattern.
The completed set...
...and reversed!

That was a fun project. Took waaaay longer than originally planned, (no Monkey next time ;) ) but I like how it turned out!
Wow! That is so cute, great job!
