Last week I finished a new batch of girl sock monkeys in new sundresses! Nadia, Courtney and Celeste wear cute summer dresses made from designer cotton fabrics by Alexander Henry, Rowan and Windham Fabrics. There’s a toadstools black dress, a paisley mint dress and a street sign red dress. These fashion sock monkeys are ready to hit your town where new adventures await them! Take them out shopping, for lunch or on a movie night. They’d love to hang out with you and be your cute accessory. :)

Meet Felix, the latest custom Mars Sock Monkey made for a soon-to-be-born baby boy! Felix wears a brown hoodie with blue & red striped sleeves with a cute little fox on the front. His hoodie also comes with fox ears to complement his woodland creature look, an awesome theme chosen by my client. Felix likes to roll in the grass, spring up from bushes and eat berries cereal. He is so cool!

I’ve been putting together postcards of all the sock monkeys I’ve made up to the present and past. If you’re looking to get some postcards of your Mars Sock Monkey check out my Zazzle store. Each postcard is tagged with the sock monkey’s name so it’s easy to find. To search just enter the name of your sock monkey in the box under “Search this store” found on the left hand side of the page. If you don’t see your sock monkey or if you’d like to order something other than a postcard like a t-shirt, button or other stationary let me know and I’ll create it specially for you.
I’ve already ordered some Mars Sock Monkey postcards and they look great! It’s like ordering from a print house, except I can get 1 or 8 postcards. ;)
There’s more Mars Sock Monkeys in sundresses coming out this weekend! I’ll also show you my latest custom sock monkey Felix! Now it’s back to work on a romper for a boy sock monkey…

I found a great sock monkey to match the newly designed mushroom sundress! Neve Mars Sock Monkey is made from a pair of white socks with thin purple, blue, silver and yellow stripes. Besides wearing a cute dress she also comes with a matching bow to adorn her head. She’s a doll! I lover her. :)
Neve is available for sale on Etsy.

Earlier this week I went shopping for some sweatshirt fabric, but when I didn’t find any I picked up some cotton instead. I hadn’t used cotton because it’s not a good fabric for hoodies, although when it comes to making a summer dress it’s perfect! Purl Soho also had some really cute cotton prints I just couldn’t resist.
This little sundress is hot off the sewing machine! It’s made from a dark cotton fabric with light purple, pink and blue mushrooms. The dress has a white waistband, two purple buttons on the front and a Maribel Made tag. We’ll see which lucky sock monkey gets to wear this cute Mushroom Sundress this summer. Look for this sock monkey and others wearing sundresses in the shop very soon!

Here’s something I’d never made for a sock monkey before. It’s a knit romper with a pocket on the front, buttons on the strap and 2 smaller pockets on the back! This cool idea came from my Mom. She thought shorts would be perfect for summer and she’s right. Wearing a hoodie in the summer [...]
Yesterday I went to an Etsy Craft Party at their headquarters located in Brooklyn, NY.

My latest monkey Artie is a good example of a custom sock monkey with an initial hoodie. His hoodie includes two letters: an “A” on the front and an “S” on back. Each letter is also enclosed inside a heart, which was my client’s idea! Another interesting thing about Artie is that he was picked [...]
