Sock Monkey Bags

I made this little sock monkey "purse" to use as a gift bag for my niece when she has her baby boy.

I thought maybe she could use it as a book bag for church (?) when he gets a little bigger.

Since I didn't really have a pattern I made a mini one first --- just to try the idea out.

I lined both of them to add stability and keep things from catching on the yarn that attaches the mouth, ears, eyes etc. It also looks a lot neater and keeps small things from falling through the bag!

If you'd like to make one of your own -- here is the only free tutorial  I found on-line.
