I just couldn't resist buying this fabric a while back - who doesn't love a good sock monkey? It's a bit of a departure from what I'm usually attracted to (retro modern graphic prints) but honestly, it was too funny to leave on the bolt! Bought the blue even though it also came in an unsettling pink colour... I'll have to go gender neutral and pair it with some other colour, or else keep it tucked away for a while until we find out if we're having a boy or girl!From wikipedia:
A sock monkey is a stuffed toy made from socks and fashioned in the likeness of a monkey. [interjection: well, duh!] Sock monkeys hold an important place in the culture of North America as a symbol of ingenuity. (more...)
I guess I didn't realize they came from a very specific type of sock? Just ordered a couple pairs of these socks so that I can make PJs a toy that gives me the willies (in a good way?).

I think the sock monkey material would make great PJs for PJ ; )
I think we'll have to brainstorm names that will go with PJ like Paddy Jeanne or Pepper Jay........
Those are some doozies - I think this would be great! What about Pinky Jane or Patrick James? I'm finding the good 'p' names are already taken!
Jamie just had the stellar suggestion, "what about pa jamas?". :-)
hmmm..."stellar suggestion" that make it sound like it WASN'T a good suggestion! How about Pat Jack, you know kind of like flap jack except with pat?
I LOVE pancakes! If it's a girl I suppose Penny Jemima would sort of be the same idea?
