Sock monkeys!

Sashybo; Your hubs has a way with names! You have more patience than me, I
would'nt be able to do them by hand and you have some more to do! They are lovely.

Has anyone tried out the sock monkey pattern in the latest issue of sewhip mag?

pennib

No I havn't seen it, need to go and browse at Tesco and have a peek!

Wow ladies, your all so talented! Id love to be able to make something like these but havent got a sewing machine or any idea where to start without one! Is it possible to make them by hand rather than machine? If so, how!?!

Would appreciate any help xxx

pennib

Yes, you can, it obviously takes longer to make but you just backstitch all the seams by hand instead of machine.
Give it a go and when you're done post a photo :0)

Lovely monkey pennib.

I'm working on twin monkeys for my twin nieces atm. Just doing bits and pieces at a time so coming along slowly. Will need to do something different for the eyes though as the girls are only coming up for 2yo.
