Sock Monkey Madness

I finally completed a project!! I had so much fun making this. He isn't anything fancy but I wanted something simple. I hate my tomato pin cushion and wanted to make a new one. I found some sock monkey material and HAD to use it. There is a story about my husband when he was a young boy strangling his sock monkey and saying, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit". So, it always makes me smile to see a sock monkey. Since my husband refused to wear anything made in this material, I thought about what I really wanted.... a new pin cushion. I traced out the pattern I wanted, attached buttons for eyes, sock for the mouth, ribbons for the legs/arms and sock for the ears. I took a before and after pic. Enjoy!

  1. I do the Martha Stewart trick of putting my pins in a metal case with a magnet stuck to the bottom. That little sock monkey is cute enough to make me change my ways.

    So when do we open our booth at Applegate?
