sarahbyrddThe torso posed some serious problems. The fabric is old and has lost lots of it's stretch, and the left side was pretty much shreaded and would need a massive patch. However, if I just patched without addresssing the shreading the restuffed monkey would be bent like a banana. The solution was to do some Franken-darning around the shreaded parts to hold the stuffing in, and then give the monkey a full torso cover with a portion of new sock.
That's an example of proper darning. That patch is on the underside of the tail.
Re-attaching the limbs was no problem, and I decided that monkey needed to have a little red heart badge for all that he'd been through. It's only tacked on, so if they owners don't like it they can pull it off.
