COMPLETING:
Stuff each body part relatively firmly, but
not enough to make it stiff and inflexible.
It should have some softness but firmness. You can use toy stuffing or a
cushion insert stuffing that is freshly bought or used solely for stuffing
purpose.
Complete the head and the body separately;
attaching appropriate parts to each first, and completing head with nose, ears,
eyes, mouth and eyebrows; and then joining together at the neck.
For the head, place the nose first, lining
it up just in from the edge of the neck hole; and before fully completing the
attachment, poke some filling into it.
Use black wool to embroider the mouth,
nose, eyes and eyebrows positioning them as you feel suits. Positioning the
eyebrows in different positions will allow the face to have some expression, as
will the angle you place the eyes. Using
wool to embroider eyes, instead of safety button eyes, makes the monkey 99.9% child
safe.
Using the long threads you left attached
when fastening off each body part, position the part in an appropriate place
and sew, joining it to the larger part securely. Fasten off by threading the wool multiple
times in and out of the body part; and then cut at the very edge so that the
end disappears back into the body part.
