Ready To Write My Review

The top is Simplicity 5098 and the skirt is Kwik Sew 2743.

I hemmed Burda 8665. I fussed over the buttons for a while before deciding they weren't the right color. My buttons are more green than the top, and I'd rather have a bluer button.

I'm cutting out Simplicity 4910, the monkey from a quilting cotton. It's printed with trees, but I thought it would give the costume a furrier look than a solid brown broadcloth. It's too hot here to make one out of faux fur or fleece.
