Oh Whoa, sock monkey.


So I am still figuring out this putting pictures in blog posts thing but I got the pictures for the sock monkey festivities downloaded to my computer and ready to upload.
I totally just remembered that i was supposed to show you the pictures of all the sock monkey business. So lets see if i can figure out how to.....  

Ah , there we go. this was my sock selection for the monkey making.  Most of them are just one sock, but some of them are pairs, and or socks that are kinda matching colors.






These are the socks i decided on, along with the scissors that will be used to mutilate them.
Since sock monkeys are generally made from socks that are like longer in the ankle area. I think i remember saying this already. But now you can see what i mean better. They are like short in the ankle area, but theres two pairs so we will use the other part of the sock instead.


This is my bag of stuffing, sewing machine, Chosen Socks, scissors, and non chosen socks.....


And now, we skip a ton of steps and have the finished monkey!!
As you can see i improvised with the legs, and they turned out okay. Overall not the best ever, but really i am not a seamstress haha. This is the new monkey with my monkey my dad gave me , thusfar unnamed. They were fast friends.
So that was my monkey making experience that day....
