- Thread in various colors
- Scissors
- Sewing machine or needle for hand sewing
- Stuffing material (polyfill, cotton, etc.)

Instructions:
Step 1: Cutting the Fabric
- Cut two monkey body shapes from brown fabric. You can create a basic oval or rectangular shape for the body.
- Cut a round or oval shape from light brown or beige fabric for the face.
- Cut two smaller oval shapes from the same light brown or beige fabric for the inner ears.
- Cut two small circles from black felt or fabric for the eyes.
- Cut a small oval or circular shape from black felt or fabric for the nose.
Step 2: Sewing the Body
- Place the two brown body fabric pieces together with the right sides facing each other.
- Pin around the edges to secure the pieces in place.
- Using a sewing machine or hand stitching, sew around the edges of the body, leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing.
Step 3: Sewing the Face and Ears
- Place the light brown or beige fabric face shape onto the front of the body.
- Pin it in place and sew around the edges using a small, neat stitch.
- Position the inner ear shapes on the sides of the head area.
- Stitch around the edges of the inner ears, attaching them to the body.
Step 4: Adding Features
- Position the black felt or fabric circles on the face where the eyes should go.
- Stitch the eyes in place using black thread.
- Position the black felt or fabric nose shape below the eyes.
- Stitch the nose in place using black thread.
Step 5: Turning and Stuffing
- Turn the body right side out through the opening.
- Stuff the body with your chosen stuffing material until it's plump and soft.
- Hand stitch the opening closed using a ladder stitch for an invisible closure.
Your simple monkey-inspired soft toy is now complete! You can add additional features, such as arms and a tail, if desired. Feel free to customize the size, shape, and details to match your vision. Happy sewing!
