ETA forgot to say - you need to upload your photos onto photobucket or similar before you can put them on here

ETA again! Sorry just realised you do use photobucket, you need to copy the IMG code (bottom one)then paste on here

are these hand sown or are they machine sewn cos id love to make one but dont have a machine!

fab monkey every time you now go into a shop you will be looking at socks thinking 'those would make a nice monkey' lol

sammy-kaye you can sew these by hand you don't need a machine, a machine makes it a bit quicker to do but i made my first 6 or 7 completely by hand. you can really only use the machine to outsew the monkey once you stuff all the parts you need to hand sew them on

I used the sewing machine for the lot , except the snout and eyes cos im impaitent but gonna try the more traditonal method next time

thankyou stardrops for all your help btw your monkeys are fab x

Love the sock money thats fab for a first go. I have been looking at these for a while and think my little girl would love one it was the sewing by hand that put me off but now i think i am going to dig my sewing machine out.
