G is for Giraffe

I made this pillowcase dress for my friend's daughter whose name is Grace.  I am a bit wary about monogramming children's clothes because it doesn't allow for the parent to use the outfit for other children.  Monogramming is fine for really special outfits but it is not practical for general dresses.  
This dress worked out perfectly because my friend got a membership to our area's zoo a lot this year where they have giraffes.  I monogrammed the "G" but also appliqued giraffes so she can wear the dress to the zoo.  So, the "G" works for Grace and for giraffes!  Hopefully, this will let my friend pass this dress on to other friends or to any other children she may have.
