Iron Craft Challenge #42 – Santa’s Newest Reindeer

by Kat on October 19, 2011 with 6 Comments in Challenges , Iron Craft

This week for Iron Craft we were challenged to create an “Imaginary Friend,” a doll, plushie or other character. I had bought some kits to make Christmas sock monkeys for some of my nephews and this seemed like a good time to get started on them. I don’t usually do much from kits, but these just sort of called out to me.

I’ve never made a sock monkey before. It was actually a lot more fiddly than I expected, getting all the skinny litte bits stuffed, hand sewing on the muzzle and limbs. I don’t think I got the face exactly right, maybe it’s too long or the muzzle needed to be wider set. Still, I think he’s pretty cute.

I left some of the stuff off that pattern that I thought was a little corny, but I think he needs something else, maybe a scarf. I have a kit to do another one that is dressed like an elf. I think when that one is finished my sock money making days might be over.
