Thanks! Love the biker monkey, my son would love that, think that's my next project! I'm planning on doing personalised monkeys for my family for Xmas so each one is like it's new owner.

snowberry sounds like you are going to be very busy!

Lovely monkeys,
My sock monkey is still half finished (started it in July)- got fed up stuffing him, I seemed to have bought the worlds stretchiest socks! It looks like it is going to be a GIANT!

lol! BIG sock monkey!! I got a couple of the 69p cushion from Ikea and used that stuffing, worked quite well. Kids thought that stuffing a monkey's bum was very funny!

Had a brilliant morning doing a sewing workshop (there was only me there!) and learning how to make a cushion. The lady runs the workshops from her home and she is so friendly and helpful. I came away with a lovely cushion and full of coffee and cake! Feelign alot mroe confident now and eager to do some more sewing projects!

Lol join the club of women addicted to sewing:D

Tomorrow I have two sock monkeys to start, two embroidered bookmarks to make and two machine embroidered 'Home Sweet Home' samplers to do and frame for Xmas presents.

Yesterday I made four more personalised bookmarks for my Dad, Mum (patricia) and two for my MIL (Anastasia).



I also made a sock monkey for my daughter out of a pair of her old tights LOL. I'm just about to put a photo of it on my blog for anyone that is interested in seeing it;)

They are beautiful! :T

Will have a look at the tight sock monkey! Good way of using old tights!

Amy, it sounds like you had a good time at the sewing workshop. Lucky you to be the only person there!
