Sock Monkey

I don't pride myself on being very handy with a sewing machine but I am pretty proud of my latest creation. I went to Target the other day to find a pair of socks worthy of becoming a sock monkey. I used a pattern online and this is what I got!!

I wasn't sure how Jonah would like this strange toy but he immediately took to wrestling with it. I guess it was a success. By the way, I purposely gave it two different colored eyes. I thought it added to the vintage/home-madeness factor.










There are a ton of great socks at Target if you're interested in trying out this little project. It took me about 2 days to finish. There was a lot of hand-sewing involved with all the appendages.

Very cute, I have thought about making one of these but sometimes they look hideous. This one is cute though. I might have to steal your idea, it will be a few months though before I actually get it done though, let's be honest.
