    Well Done...I found stitching the ears on was the hardest!

    I just spent the last 10 mins trying to find one of the arms only to spot my kitten heading off with it under the sofa!

    Yes...I did find it a bit tricky with fluffy socks! I sewed it by hand too!..Mind you it didn't take very long. I gave it to my 12 year old daughter...she loves it. She wants to make one the weekend. I think we're addicted now!
    I bought some cushion infills in the pound shop - just snipped the pack open, and hey presto....stuffing. I only used a small amount for my monkey. I've got tons left. Must work out cheaper than buying stuffing from elsewhere. Where does everyone else get theirs from?

    I bought mine at local craft shop 3.49 for a 250g bag and seen on ebay they sell 2 kilos of stuffing for 9.99 and 6.99 postage which would work out at 2.12 for 250g, I make dammitt dolls too so would like a massive bag of stuffing
