How to sew a monkey from a sock?

The next year on the eastern calendar is the Year of the Monkey. The most popular and appropriate gift for the New Year, of course, will be a monkey, which the needlewoman can sew from the fabric, tied with crochet or knitting needles, or can sew, oddly enough, from the sock. Yes, do not be surprised, just from socks. Firstly, this is the easiest way, secondly the cheapest, and in the third the fastest. So, today I'll tell you how to sew a monkey from a sock.

Handmade monkey from socks by own hands - a master class

For work we need:

• couple of socks;
• scissors;
• needle;
• a filler for toys;
• a pen;
• pugovki for eyes;
• a little white felt for the eyes.

Progress:

1. Take the socks turned inside out, we add a promenade up and the second spread sideways pen draw a line as in the picture, but do not cut, you must first flash the line.
2. You can manually sew the lines, but the sewing machine will be much faster. Hind legs are sewn from the bottom, then go up the line, but the area does not flash, there we will fill toy, so the thread is cut off, move to the second line and zastrachivaem to the end and the bottom too. Then cut the legs, turn the product out.
3. We sew the second sock along the lines, but do not staple the muzzle line and the base of both ears, ie. only a semicircle, and also the paws and tail at the top of the sock.
4. We cut off details of a muzzle, a tail, ears and legs, we turn out on the front side.
5. We fill the trunk of the monkey with filler and sew up the hole.
6. We take a white felt, cut out the eyes and sew it to the muzzle.
7. We pick up the detail of the muzzle and put the filler for the toys, sew a little below the eye.
8. We make the mouth, fix the red thread on the right in the middle of the face and stretch the thread on the opposite side, fix the thread, slightly pulling it.
9. Details of the ears are picked up a little, we put the filler, sew the bottom and sew the two lower edges, sew the ears to the head.
10. The front foot is stuffed with filler and sewed to the trunk, with the second foot we do the same.
11. Sew a tail. The toy-monkey, made by own hands from socks, is ready.

The size of the monkey depends on the size of the sock, but do not take short socks, because limbs in the monkey are long and when cutting, are at the top of the sock. As you can see, making a monkey from a sock is quite simple, so even beginners will cope.
