Make a charming jointed monkey doll with the vintage Laura Wheeler 934 sewing pattern. This adorable stuffed animal is fully jointed and can be made using brown and tan broadcloth, percale, gingham, or any plain cotton fabric. Measuring approximately 16 inches for a cuddly toy, the monkey features a simple applique and embroidered face for a soft, handcrafted look, and is finished with playful straw yarn hair.
The pattern includes full-size pieces and step-by-step illustrated instructions for assembling the monkey’s head, body, arms, legs, ears, and tail. Each limb and the head are jointed using strong string or rug cotton, secured through internal buttons and cardboard discs for added durability and gentle movement. Detailed embroidery instructions are included to complete the monkey’s expressive face, with satin and outline stitches for the eyes, nose, and mouth, and single stitch eyebrows.
This monkey sewing pattern also includes guidelines for appliqueing contrasting face pieces, stuffing each part firmly with cotton, wool batting, or kapok, and securely stitching the seams. The ears are designed to stand out for added personality, and the tail is lightly stuffed and attached at the back. Hair is made from straw yarn loops stitched directly onto the head, giving it a cheerful, whimsical finish.
Ideal for crafters, collectors, or anyone who loves making vintage-style toys, this jointed monkey pattern is a rewarding project with nostalgic charm. Add your own fabric and color choices to personalize each creation.
