Toy "Monkey" from an old children's scarf

Hello, dear visitors of the site. In our wardrobe, we somehow found an old children's scarf, which began to diverge at the seams, and we had the idea to throw it away. But we couldn’t throw it away, but instead we sewed some good things: a small bag for storing small items, a toy for a cat and a toy red monkey.
The monkey seems to us the most attractive:
For work, we needed:
- Paper and pencil;
- Scissors, red threads and a needle;
- Artificial eyes for toys or beads;
- thick wire;
- A small piece of white plastic;
- Filler (cotton wool);
- White fabric;
- One brown bead;
- An old red scarf for children.
Starting work, we took a scarf and divided it into four parts: from the first two parts we decided to sew a monkey, from the third to make a bag for storing small items; the fourth part consists of two pompoms that were sewn to the ends of the scarf. One of them we used to make a cat toy.
Here is a simple bag:
Sewing it is not at all difficult, it consists of only two pieces of rectangular fabric connected by seams.
From a pompon, a shaggy toy for a cat was made:
Having done these two things, we set about making toys - monkeys.
First, we take one of the pieces of fabric set aside for its manufacture:
Taking a needle with a thread, we sew up the upper side of this piece:
Next, we take a rectangular piece of white fabric and fold it in two, after which we draw with a pencil on one of its sides a drawing of the head of the future toy:
According to the drawing done, the seams should be sewn, and then the resulting figure from the fabric should be cut with a small area of ​​the allowance:
After that, we turn the figure out from the wrong side and prepare small elements for making the muzzle (artificial eyes, a bead as a nose and ears from a small piece of plastic):
We glue the artificial eyes, sew the ears with the bead and embroider the mouth with red thread, and then we cut two figures from another piece of fabric from the scarf to give the toy's head a resemblance to a monkey. Like these ones:
We sew these figures along the edges of the muzzle and to the back of the head of the toy, after which we fill with cotton the resulting head with the body and sew them to each other:
Now we cut four pieces of fabric to make hind and front legs for the toy:
Each of the pieces should be sewn together in their longitudinal sides, and then turned out of the wrong side and filled with cotton. In order to make a twisted tail, we need a thick wire:
When sewing the tail, we had a problem with the fact that there was no long fabric left. Therefore, we decided to take three short pieces and sew them together:
First we sew their transverse sections:
And then the longitudinal and upper sides:
After that, turning the finished things from the inside out, we first decided to fill each of them with cotton wool, using tweezers for convenience:
But then we decided that the tail looked worse (too thick). Without cotton, it looks better:
Now we have to sew the legs and tail to the toy, cutting small holes to fit inside the allowance (excess fabric).
So that the tail wire goes deeper inside the toy and the resulting tail holds better, we removed part of its fabric and then sewed it:
Sewing the tail and legs, we made a few additional seams above and (or) lower so that they would better stay in one position set by them (not sticking out on the sides).
After that, everything, our toy is ready:
This toy can well decorate the room, as well as the sign Red (Fiery) Monkey is considered the mistress of 2016.
