Sock monkeys!

Gemzie121

I am having surgery in March (lots of time for monkey making! )
Anyway, I am thinking of making my surgeon a monkey with scrubs and a stethoscope to say thankyou (he has looked after me for 12 years now!) any ideas how I can sort it with scrubs etc - would the build a bear ones be suitable?

i did think i would put the wheat in but just wondered how thick the sock would have to be to compensate it

This thread will never drop away... we monkey breeders wont allow that to happen.

It shouldn't be too difficult to make a set - a simple T shaped top and pair of trousers with elastic around the waist. You can find some free patterns for dolls cloths - try the American girl patterns they are for 18" dolls and should fit OK - you might just have to cut them a little wider depending on how well you stuff your monkeys.

bottom right pattern has a little jacket and trousers you might be able to adapt.

some more on here - also cabbage patch clothes which might fit

hiya

well, i got back yesterday and made another bunnie and finished this girl pirate.



looking forward to seeing all the new stuff people have been busy making!!

nuttybabe

thought she was a bit loney so made a boy pirate to go with the girl.

Cute pirates, nutty - I did smile with the boy one though - the position of the larger skull - or perhaps it is just my sense of humour.

I have been playing around and not quite socks, but keeping within the monkey theme.
