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

The Nursery Rhymes SETS great Teaching resources

Stall with puppets at Craft & Gift show in Brentwwod

This is a very busy show and I love to have my stall there .
this year on 2nd and 3 rd November was even busier than usual probably because my friend Emma dressed in Vintage from 20ties kept shouting HANDMADE PUPPETSSSS......WE have sets and individuals.....TODAY every 2 seconds ,was Fun and we were noticed, Thank you EMMA !!!

Best thing was that we had returning costumers and few lovely feedbacks from last years purchases and that made my day!!!!

Once again the best seller was The Croc

and I kept making crocodiles on site as I did not have time to make them earlier

We were very tired but happy at the end
