Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip When making a Sock Monkey one of the most important features is the mouth. I find that positioning the mouth piece and pining the bottom half before sewing helps keep it centered and helps sculpt the shape of the mouth. In this way you can make the Sock Monkey have an upturned smile, with any style heel.

Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip It can be tricky pinning a pattern to felt. Once you get the first piece cut use it as a pattern for the next one since the felt sticks together without pins.

Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip Cut off all your ‘starting and finishing’ threads as you finish EACH seam, this way you won’t end up getting them caught in your seams as you sew. The worst thing I did whilst cutting off threads was to nick a hole in the side of a rhino, which I was making as a gift for a work colleague. I didn’t have time to make another one so I patched him with “Fray–Stop” but he didn’t look his best!

	Original designed teddy bears, soft dolls and hand puppets. I also make rabbits, mice, dogs and cows. Along with these I have also designed and made a baby blanket with bear head attached and toilet tissue dolls that store that extra roll of tissue in the bathroom. http://www.ejcrafts.com (Clicks: 173; Link added: Jul 26, 2008) Link Details \| Report Broken Link
Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip When making an animal from fur make sure you only cut the backing and none of the fur. This is done by using very sharp scissors and only cutting little snips at a time.

Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip When making a stuffed animal with faux fur, if you do not have a printer where you can print on cardstock or you simply do not have any cardstock on hand, go ahead and print the pattern on regular paper, cut out the pieces and glue them to a manila folder or other lightweight cardboard to create pattern pieces that will be easier to trace onto the fabric.

Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip Some socks fray more than others, and it becomes very apparent when it's time to stuff a monkey. So, if you zig zag (with the sewing machine) along the raw edges of the sock that are to be hand sewn eg: between the legs, around the mouth piece and at the ends of the arms, it will support those areas and prevent the fraying.

Stuffed Toys Crafty Tip Stuffing a soft toy can be a difficult thing. My tip is to always start with stuffing the small parts like the feet. Save the bigger parts like the body for last. To stuff very small parts a chopstick is very usefull!
