Here’s my monkey for July’s Month of Softies. I had a good time with this guy. Sock Monkeys are fun! Thanks Claire!
I picked out the socks in the mens section at the Target. There are pretty plain but I liked the gold stripe. I noticed later that they have Ls & Rs on them. The L ended up behind his left ear and that’s how he got the name Lewis. I made him a little t-shirt from some cowboy Munki Munki jersey fabric. The collar is from a vintage toddler’s shirt that I had cut up for the fabric. His stylin cord short pants have a hole in the back for his tail and an elastic waist. Sneakers are wool felt, embroidery floss and elastic and his socks are an old pair of Oscar socks modified to fit.
Oscar, of course, is not very interested in Lewis. Although he did say “monnka” and gave him a kanga kiss.
All Lewis needs now is a little cowboy hat!
Lewis rocks! Awesome. (Funny, I was thinking Stripus needed a cowboy hat too)
lewis is so cute, love the t-shirt!
I love your monkey! AND Lois Lenski! AND that Munki Munki fabric! Hee hee…
Lewis is adorable!
His shoes remind me of the green and white saddle oxfords I had to wear in high school.. 🙂 So cute!
Truly wonderful, as always. Love the shirt and shoes!
He is just great!
Love his green shoes!
So great. I love all the little details!
Aw! What a sweetie your monkey is! I love him! I particularly love the shoes!
so nice! i am kicking myself for not trying the sock monkey… maybe there is time yet.
lewis is so great! no wonder he got a kanga kiss…
he couldn’t be any cuter Hillary!!
I think that might be my favorite thing you’ve ever made. He’s hott.
He turned out great maybe he’ll win an award for “best-dressed”. Love those shoes!!
He’s so wonderful! You’re truly amazing!
Super cute monkey! Love the cord shorts! You’ve inspired me…time to dig in the sock drawer and make a new little friend!
Really cute! I think the simple sock worked well for this one – and great clothes too!
so adorable! and lois lenski — that just puts him over the top. gorgeous work.
that’s awesome! i love the little tee on him! 🙂
I’m in shock. He’s incredible. Just perfect. I’m in love with him and his shoes!
Lewis looks very smart! I must find some not-too-old socks to try my hands to that monkey.

Lewis is fantastic! My little Mia thinks he’s great too.
He is so perfect and well-made. I’m really impressed.
I cannot get over how sweet he is! I keep coming back to gaze at him – just lovely…I think it’s his clothes, too – perfect touch…almost like a “real boy”.
So cute it makes me think I should just skip making one because it wouldn’t be nearly as adorable as yours! 🙂
He’s so cute! And I love the shoes!
you are a wonderfull artist 😀
His monkey ears are my favorite part! He is so sweet and friendly.
Lewis is precious! I love the clothes, and of course the shoes. Adorable!
He is FANtastic. Super work, love Lewis!
