Chatty he is brill & looks like he's been through the wars so very on par with what was asked of you, well done.

Thanks for the reply gemsmember.
I bought my stuffing from Hobbycraft as I wanted it NOW but where else can I buy it, do you all tend to shop online or is it locally sourced.

Thanks

Chatty; He is absolutely lovely. He made me smile, just right to brighten up little accident prone boy. (although I hope he doesnt have as many injuries tho haha)

I get my stuffing from Dunelm - huge bag for £5.99

I buy the Dunelm stuffing as well. I can get about 5 monkeys from one bag, so I do stuff mine well.

Hi

I started off by hand and made a fair few. I did get a sewing machine earlier this year though which does make it easier.

This is what i used when i first started. http://www.santaspostbag.co.uk/how-to-make-sock-monkeys-christmas-toy.shtml

and dont forget to put piccys on.

Pennib - brilliant. they all just look so lovely and the same. all mine look different even when i try to make them the same!!! :rotfl:

Chatty - i love mr bump! he is ace.

And all the others are brilliant! I really like the hair. I might do hair like that on my witch one. i already have put black wool on her as hair but looks a bit flat so needs something.

Hiya

Here are my latest 2. One of for a first birthday and the other is for a little boy who is potty training so he is wearing boxers! I should have done that for my youngest!!!! :P
