The master class will teach how to make crafts from unnecessary things, will show how a monkey is sewn from socks with their own hands.
2016 has arrived – Year of the Fire Monkey.It's time to create monkeys. Options – sea. Everyone can choose for themselves which monkey to sew and from what, as a symbol of the coming year. And I suggest you and your child sew a monkey… from children's socks. And the more fun and beautiful the socks are, the more interesting the toy will be.So, let's prepare everything you need.
- Socks. The size of the socks will depend on the size of the monkey.
- The filler can be any of your choice. Sintepon is quite suitable.
- A few beads for eyes and spout are suitable.
Place the first sock with the heel facing up. Cut the bottom of the sock to the heel in the middle.We sew along the edges using a machine. We leave a 3 cm hole in the center. We will fill the body of the toy through it.
Turn it right side out.
We fill the body with filler. Do not try to stuff it too much, as the fabric will stretch.
Manually sew up the hole.
The body is ready. Sits well on its own.
From the second sock we will cut out all the other parts of the toy: tail, arms, ears, muzzle.
We sew the tail on the machine, leaving a hole at the bottom for stuffing.
Turn it right side out.
Stuffing the tail. To make it lie nicely, don’t stuff it too tightly.
We sew the tail by hand, bending all the sections inward.
We stitch the arms on the machine.
We fill our pens. Use tweezers or blunt-tipped scissors when stuffing.
We choose where to sew the handles on the sides. We sew by hand, hiding all the threads of the cut inside.
We also sew the ears on the machine. Turn it inside out and put the filling inside.
Choosing a place for the ears. We sew them on by hand. We try to arrange them symmetrically.
Let's make a face. To do this we use the toe of the sock. Let's take the wrong side, it is terry. Sew on the top side.
Hand sew the bottom of the muzzle.
Until everything is completely sewn on, we put a piece of filler inside for the muzzle.
The muzzle turned out very cute.
Sew on beady eyes.
The mouth can be made from white lace. Sew it on top with threads.
So the beauty is ready – a monkey named Anfisa.
