sock monkeys
 

my DD is having her first baby (3/14) and wants to do the room in sock monkeys. I was looking at a site I found - it had sock monkeys! dolls, quilts, anything sock monkeys. I thought I saved it, but I guess I didn't do it right ( imagine THAT! LOL) Does anyone know of a site with sock monkey ideas? Thanks for any help Laurilli

I know that Moda has had Sock Monkey fabric - you might check their free patterns

I googled sock monkeys yesterday and came up on a site. Had all kinds of ideas. Googling is way to go. Saved to favorites.

Could it have been sockmonkey.com? http://sockmonkey.com/

What a cute idea. It made me smile remembering my son's first stuffed character. He was given a Sonic the Hedgehog but a young neighbor friend. I thought it was kind of scary looking but had to place it in the room. I got rid of it when the young friend moved away. DS was way too young to notice it, I thought. Guess what his favorite cartoon and comic book character was when he was growing up......Sonic. I had to purchase the character all over again. Still makes me wonder. :)

Found this cute sock monkey fabric:

If you Google "sock monkeys" and variations of that ("sock monkey decor", etc.), you will find lots of websites. After you do one of these searches you can click on "images" to see lots of photos. You might recognize that website from one of the photos. Here are a couple of sites I found:
http://www.houzz.com/sock-monkey

http://www.mardel.com/colorful-sock-...oom-decor.aspx

I did a google search "Sock Monkey Nursery Ideas". Do you have an embroidery machine? Designs by JuJu has lots of sock monkey embroidery sets. How do I know this? My 37 year old daughter is a sock monkey lover!https://www.google.com/search?q=sock...ideas&tbm=isch

Vanginney, your sock monkeys are adorable. I could not access the link for the directions. Do you have an updated link? My daughter is expecting and I would like to make one of these.

these are great sites, Ladies! lots of very good & different ideas, And a sock monkey pattern. Thanks, everyone.

She has a lot of sock monkey stuff not listed on her site yet. She was at the quilt show in Spokane this weekend and she has the cutest sock monkey jack in the boxes. They are adorable. She has all sorts of patterns, sock monkey fabric and socks in lots of colors.

Here is the direct link. http://vintagesockmonkey.com/Sock_Mo...n_Pattern.html

I found men's socks made the monkeys look weird (arms & legs too long)....definitely go for a ladies sock! I also used a matching yarn to sew the arms & legs on....it blended in, made the limbs strong and was faster than sewing thread.

Good luck!

I made a quilt using the Juju embroidery designs. It came out great! The monkeys are very authentic looking.

I remember seeing sock monkey fabric in the Newark Dressmaker Supply catalog. I do not recall if they had any other items. I hope you find what you need.

I have some sock monkey fannel and a quilted (Bought) baby blanket. Think I got them a Whittles. DF daughter was doing sock monkeys and changed her mind.

I bought the monkey fabric from Joanns a while back and have not used it yet, but think this will be the thing.
