Five Little monkeys teasing Mr Croc - my new sewing pattern

File little monkeys teasing Mr Crocodile is one of my very favorite songs.
Year ago a friend asked me to make a set using my existing Crocodile puppet and just to make some finger puppets Monkeys to fit in crocodile mouth.The set was for a gift posted to Australia .Since then a made more of these as it appear to be one of my bestsellers.


I just finishing making a pattern of The Five Little monkeys teasing Mr Croc and listed in my new Craftsy Pattern shop
http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/toy/5-little-monkeys-teasing-mr-crocodile/99177
The felt and hand stitching used for this sewing pattern makes it suitable for beginners


I really hope that more people can enjoy puppet making with this easy to follow step by step instructions and pattern templates


I am offering 2 designs for The monkeys - simple version and detailed version and options to make them as different as possible using more colours or variety of features

The pattern is listed for instant download in my Etsy shop as well
