    What size dowels do you use? The arms and legs look nicely stuffed using the dowels! Thank you! Great job making these little guys!

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for asking! For the arms and legs, the dowel is 1 3/16" (30mm). I make the tail smaller, so that dowel is 7/8" (22mm). They sure save my thumbs! Depending on how you sew your monkeys, the sizes you need may vary slightly. Do what I did, and take an unstuffed monkey skin to the hardware or hobby store. You may notice in the video that I rounded one end, but then I discovered that the flat end works better. But the rounded end fits comfortably in my palm, so I just pretend that I meant to do it that way! 😁 If you get similar dowels, you may find that the surface is not completely smooth and tends to snag on the sock. Give them a thorough sanding with 180 grit sandpaper and they will be fine from then on. Thanks so much for your comment! 🙂🐵

    I am so glad I found your channel Sock Monkey Guy! I am trying to make my friend one for her 21st so I was wondering if you had a pattern for a wine glass that my monkey could hold

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm glad too! 😊 What a great 21st birthday gift! For the wine glass, I have a couple of suggestions. (1) If you know someone who has access to a resin-based 3D printer, I could whip up a 3D model of a wine glass that you could print in transparent resin. Then, I would post the digital file for you to download. (2) Check novelty websites like Archie McPhee for plastic shot glasses that are shaped like a wine glass. That's how I found the beer mug for my Oktoberfest monkey. A third suggestion: I already have a 3D file for a sock monkey wine bottle that I printed on my FDM 3D printer for a Parisian sock monkey that I made a few years ago. The bottle was printed in opaque material, so I painted it green like wine bottles are, and with a custom label it looked quite good. If you have access to either type of 3D printer, you could have that file, or I could simply make the bottle and send it to you. The nice thing about a wine bottle is that it could have a label that makes the monkey personalized in some way to the recipient. Find me on Instagram (the.sock.monkey.guy) and DM me if you'd like to pursue this.

    What stitch did you use for the individual parts I haven’t ordered a kit but I’m just using normal socks I’m making one for my friends birthday

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for asking! If you are using a sewing machine as you see me doing in the video, it's best to use a stretch stitch if possible. (My machine has a setting called "triple stretch" and that is what I use.) If you use a normal straight stitch, as you would for regular fabric, then when you are stuffing the monkey the sock material will stretch but the stitching will not. The stitching may break while you are stuffing, and even if it doesn't, your monkey's arms and legs will be curved like sausages instead of straight. If your sewing machine does not have a stretch stitch, then you can use a zigzag stitch which will stretch with the sock material when the monkey is stuffed. If your machine doesn't have a zigzag stitch either, then you can stretch the sock material somewhat as you feed it into the machine to create the slack required in the stitching to allow it to stretch later. If you don't have a sewing machine at all, don't fret! A stretch stitch can be done by hand as well. At the links below, Jan Howell shows how to do a stretch stitch by hand. tinyurl.com/Jan-Howell-video tinyurl.com/Jan-Howell-blog When you are attaching the monkey's arms and other parts to his body, they are already stuffed by that point so you don't have to worry about stretching anymore. You can just use a simple overhand stitch as you see me doing. Here, it's best to use a heavy-duty thread and double it for extra strength, particularly when attaching the arms. You see me using a curved needle for this in the video because I find it helpful, but you can use a straight needle just as well. If you do want to get a curved needle, search your favorite sewing source for quilting needles. I hope this is helpful! Please let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂🐵

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You have merely to ask! 🙂 I use a large hemostat to turn the monkey right side out, the tools I use for stuffing are sanded wooden dowels, and the curved needle is a quilter's needle. None of these tools are essential; they just make the work easier. (I make a lot of sock monkeys, so I'm always on the lookout for labor-saving tools and techniques!) For a detailed explanation of what I'm doing to apply the eyebrows, search for videos on "needle felting." Here again, this technique isn't essential either. You could just as easily embroider the eyebrows, or even cut them out of felt and glue them on! Any other questions? Just ask! 🙂🐵

    I mean can you sew with a needle?

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Certainly! Pick a size of needle that you are comfortable using. The easiest stitch is the simple over-under method: bring the needle up through the sock from below, then down through the sock from above, then repeat. Bear in mind that this stitch won't stretch with the sock material when the sock is stuffed. Try to keep the stitches as small as you can. If the stitches are large, the seams will tend to open up a bit when the monkey is stuffed. To secure the thread at the ends, take a couple of stitches in the same spot. Then push the needle underneath the last stitch and wrap the thread around the needle three or four times, then pull the needle all the way through and the loops of thread will tighten into a secure knot. I hope that's helpful. I should probably make a video about sewing a monkey by hand!

      Yes indeed! I sewed my first few sock monkeys entirely by hand. Just follow the same lines that you saw me do on the machine. Try to keep your stitches as small as you can, and make sure to secure the thread well at the beginning and end of each seam. And use a strong thread. You can do it!

    Do you know how to make sock monkey (babies)?

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven't yet tried to make sock monkey babies. The closest I've come so far is that one Christmas I made a Santa-and-elf sock monkey pair. I made the elf from size Small socks, which made him about two-thirds the height of the Santa monkey. Compared to a monkey made from size Large socks (the size I normally use), he looks about the size of a pre-teen child. Sadly, it appears that Fox River has since discontinued their size Small red heel socks, and they now offer only Medium and Large. 😢 There is still some new stock of size Small being sold by a couple of vendors on eBay, and you might find the occasional pair elsewhere. If you're looking for an "infant-sized" sock monkey to go with a regular sock monkey, what I would suggest (at least until I figure out how to make them!) is to look online for mini sock monkey keychains. These mini sock monkeys are typically about 4 to 6 inches (10-15 cm) tall, and they would be the right scale for a sock monkey baby. I used one of these years ago when I made a sock monkey in pajamas that was holding his own sock monkey. You can remove the metal keychain part either by using an X-Acto knife or a seam ripper to cut the stitches that attach it to the monkey, or by using some wire cutters to cut the very last link of the chain. I hope that's helpful! I'll have to give some thought to making baby sock monkeys from regular-size monkey socks. 🤔

    I love how you make your sock monkeys. However I am new at sewing. Do you have another video so I can learn some of your hand sewing techniques? Also what is the name of the tool that you do the monkey's eyebrows? How about Shane the monkey?

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Shane -- that fits him! The tool is called a needle felting tool. Search on TH-cam for "needle felting" and you will find lots of videos about it. Needle felting is a whole craft all on its own, and I'm just using one aspect of it here. Bear in mind that it isn't the only way to do eyebrows. You could also embroider them, or simply cut out eyebrow shapes from felt and glue them on with fabric glue. I use this method because it's faster than embroidery but neater than glue. The only hand-sewing technique I use here is a simple overhand stitch. Simply put the needle in on one side of the seam, pull it out the other side, put it back in on the first side, and repeat this over and over. You'll notice that I'm using a curved quilter's needle, but that's not essential. It just makes the stitch more comfortable to do on a stuffed toy. Now that you mention it, I should probably make a short video about details like these for those who are new to sewing. I hadn't thought of it before, partly because I'm not sure exactly who my viewers are. Thanks for the idea! In the meantime, if it helps you might try slowing the video down. You can do this by holding Shift and pressing the "<" key while the video is playing. Do it again to slow it down more. You can speed it back up by holding Shift and pressing the ">" key. I hope that's at least somewhat helpful! Please let me know if you have any other questions, and maybe tell me what other information I should put in a detail video.

I don't know if I had mentioned in a previous comment that I had started a monkey from directions in a book I have, but it never mentioned to sew the hole before stuffing. My sock frayed so I did get a little practice having to do surgery 😅😅😅. But you make hand sewing look so easy, and I know there's a lot of people who could benefit from a tutorial video. I'm also not sure how you wrap the thread around the needle several times, mine just come undone. Please send me a link if you decide to make a tutorial 😊 Thank you for your reply.

    How do you do the eye brows felting PLEASE

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy ปีที่แล้ว

      Needle felting uses special needles that have rows of tiny barbs along their length. If you place a piece of felt on top of another piece of felt (or in my case, a piece of felt on top of the sock material) and then jab it repeatedly with the needle, with each jab the barbs catch strands of the felt and push them into the material below. This starts to lock the two materials together. The more you do this, the more firmly the two pieces are bonded together. You can google "needle felting" for more information and the tools used. However, don't stress about needle felting! It's not the only way to attach eyebrows; it's just the method that I use. You can simply cut your desired shape of eyebrows out of felt and then use fabric glue to glue the eyebrows on. Easy! 🙂🐵

    Well done! And--speaking as a lifelong ancient Egyptophile, I say you did the order of wrapping quite authentically. Of course, with human mummies there were fingers and toes which were wrapped individually first, and then the limbs, and so on. Of course, larger bandages, and even old sheets and clothes were then wrapped pleasingly around the whole assemblage, forming a layered shroud of sorts, but that would be very inconvenient, both for a reanimated, ancient Sock Monkey, and for the countless mummies of motion pictures.

      Thanks so much! It was your encouragement that convinced me to start up again. 🥰🐵 BTW, I'm thinking of making a Dr. Hut sock monkey. What will be your specialty when you graduate from medical school?

      @@TheSockMonkeyGuy That honors me 😄🫶 I really like your videos, they are so chill and they help me to come down a little from my turbulent life 🥲 Btw whats that tool called you used to attach the eyebrows? Omg that is so kind 🥲 Well I didn’t actually decide that yet, since I also have a couple more years to go 😄 In Germany you have time choosing the specialty until you graduate from med school and it takes 6 1/2 years here lol

      @DrHutOfHandcraft The tool is called a felting needle. It has tiny barbs along its length that catch the strands of the felt and push them into the weave of the sock, bonding the two together without glue or sewing. Some people use it to make 3-dimensional soft sculpture. Google "needle felting." Well, I could make a surgeon monkey in scrubs, or a general practice monkey in a white coat with a stethoscope...

    YOURE BACK!!!!! I love making sock monkeys still even though the last time I commented was 2 years ago! Also, if you don’t mind, where did you go?

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow, thanks for commenting so promptly! To be honest, I wasn't getting much feedback, and looking at the metrics it didn't seem that there was that much interest in my channel, so I took a break from it to concentrate on other things (and earning a living 😕). Then I heard from a couple of my subscribers that they missed me, so I decided to give it another go. Thanks for your warm welcome! 🥰🐵

    Is there a link for the jacket pattern? All done except for the jacket, and I keep cutting it wrong :>(

    • @TheSockMonkeyGuy
      @TheSockMonkeyGuy ปีที่แล้ว

      You can download my pattern for free. Go to tinyurl.com/Felt-vest and click the download button in the upper right corner of the page. It's a PDF file, and if you need a PDF reader you can get Adobe's reader for free at get.adobe.com/reader/ Make sure to print the file at 100% scale. Some print drivers default to scaling the file down a bit when printing, and this will cause your pattern to be printed too small. Let me know if you have any questions!

      Depending on where you are, you would likely have to mail the monkey to me, but I can certainly take a look at it. It would be helpful if you could send me some close-up photos so I can get an idea of what needs to be done. Go to my channel's "About" page and click on the button for my email address.

      Yay! Congratulations on your first sock monkey and the clothing for it! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. I've been taking a break from them because "real" life gets in the way, but I need to get back to making them again. Thanks so much!
