Love the sock monkeys but it looks like you might have to keep the 2 far right monkeys together, they look like they are getting a bit fruity with each other :rotfl: .0 -

sorry :rolleyes: it was the first thing i thought of when i saw them (lucky monkeys). Ive been making some monkeys as pressies and brought them into work to show the lads them, when i looked on my desk it was left in a funny position with its tail between its legs. (men ehh!!!) It also makes my oh laugh when I tell him that im going to stuff my monkey. If you have a look at the 3rd picture down aswell the monkey is looking so lovingly into the other ones eyes. lol

It's lovely Ch3rrie!0

WOW .. those are lovely
can anyone tell me if its simple enough to make by hand? .. I dont have a sewing machine and im not brilliant with a needle and thread but i would love to give these a go
any hints and tips would be brill for a non sewin machine owning person
I made my first two with a borrowed sewing machine but I have done my latest one entirely by hand. I'm no sewer but using a simple back-stitch I think it's actually more durable than the two I made with the machine. I didn't even find it a lot more time consuming (mainly because I had to keep re-doing the machine sewed bits anyway). I found these videos helpful for explaining different stitches: http://www.monkeysee.com/play/2147-sewing-the-back-stitch
Obviously using a matching thread makes it look generally a lot neater.

The latest one from me - he's a pressie for my daughters friend who fell head over heals in love with the others I'd made - I know she'll appreciate him."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0

Has anyone had the 'Coffee Table' leaflet through the post from Necafe??? The person who writes it obviously gets all their ideas from this forum. They have included all of the hamper types that people are doing on here as well as instructions to make a sock monkey - not sure if the instructions are copyrighted, think it's the ones that are!!!! Easy leaflet to write, just come onto MSE and put it on paper!!!!0
