For Cade's I just cut 5" strips of fabric (7 rows) and sewed them toghter. I wanted to use a charm pack but my quilt store didn't have any that would work for boys and I needed to do it quick since I needed it done in a week.
I just printed out their initials on my computer. Then I scanned and enlarged one of the rockets on the fabric.
For this one I used one of Traci's patterns at Amazing Mae and the Moda Sock Monkey Charm pack. I saw there is another pattern of Sock Monkeys coming out soon and I can't wait to get them!
I'm happy with how they turned out but in retrospect would have made the initals 2 layers so that they stood out better (the cream letter with a red border)... but live and learn!
