More Sock Monkeys - this week's clothes upcycle


This week's clothes upcycle for my challenge was a couple of sock monkeys.

The first one was from a pair of socks with cute little aliens on. The aliens have ended up on the sock monkeys feet and hands!



The other monkey was from a pair of long stripy socks.

I used this pattern to make the sock monkeys. I've used it before so now am building up a family of monkeys (and a lion!) to sell!


If you'd like to see the other things I've made from clothes so far this year - go here!

      The mane is all hand stitched on Agy! I used this tutorial for him:

    They are so cute! Loving the colors. When I saw the last picture I thought of the wise monkeys: "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. ." I’m so glad you linked it with us at Thursday Favorite Things!

      Thanks Jas! Oh and that would be a great idea for presenting them at the carnival stall - as 3 wise monkeys in the poses - see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil! Thanks for the inspiration!
