New Applique Fonts

Here are pictures of a couple of new applique alphabets we've just added. I love alphabets because you can do so much with them! Names, just a letter, a number for a birthday....you name it!



The one above is called "cade" and also comes in a zig-zag stitch. It's very cute, especially for boys!

This was a customer request, and she's doing coordinating brother/sister holiday shirts in the font. I like it because it comes in several sizes and is great for longer names (like my sons have!)

It's Greek to Me!

A customer of mine recently told me that she had several former sorority sisters all due with baby girls around the same time. She wanted to do something special for them and came up with the cutest little onesies. These Kappa Delta legacies will be starting off life right!

Of course, as I told my customer, I guess that since I'm having boys I won't be making these precious outfits in my greek letters. However, I do see some "Future KA" t-shirts in their future! :)

We Love Birthdays!

One of the most fun things we get to work on at The Monogrammed Monkey is birthday shirts. Birthdays are so fun anyway, and we love seeing what themes our customers pick out for their little monkeys! We also love seeing the inspiration pieces...be it invitations, photos, or fabric scraps. I'm even keeping a list of some of my favorite designs to use in the future for my 2 boys!

....and the finished product. We love how it turned out!

What Have We Been Up To?

Well, it's been a wild few months at The Monogrammed Monkey! First, and most importantly, I'm having my own Monkey #2 in December! We're super-excited about our newest addition, and can't wait to meet him (and making him lots of adorable monogrammed stuff, of course!). We have also grown LOTS in the last few months, and are currently slammed with orders. We love our customers, and we are having lots of fun seeing what they pick for their little monkeys! We've also upgraded to a commercial monogramming machine, although we haven't really learned to use it yet. I'm hoping to have some time to learn it while I'm on maternity leave.....well, at least that's what I'm hoping! :)
