Woohoo!!!! I am verrrrrrry excited to introduce the newest Funky Friends Factory toy sewing pattern…

Shelby the NO SOCK Sock Monkey!

Sheby LOOKS like a traditional sock monkey BUT my sewing pattern is designed to be made from fabric.

WHY?

Well, for 2 reasons… First of all, I have NEVER SEEN the traditional Original Rockford Red Heel socks (in all my years of shopping?) and secondly,  I HAVE SEEN lots of super cute sock monkey fabrics!

Sometimes my sewing pattern designs are my inspiration for the fabric I use to make my soft toys, and sometimes it’s the other way around – the fabric I have bought is the inspiration for the pattern design! How could you NOT be inspired by the gorgeous sock monkey fabrics????? 😀

Now you can make a sock monkey…

EVEN IF you can’t find

a cute pair of socks!

I had so much fun making my sock monkey…..

I had to make some more!!!

and

some more!!!

This is a really easy pattern for beginners and children to sew. You only need a small fabric scrap of the contrast fabric and the pattern looks awesome made up in spots, stripes, plain solids and prints – so and I’m sure you’ll have as much fun as I did choosing fabrics!

What fabric do you think would be good for a Sock Monkey?

Till next time…

Happy Sewing,

Pauline
