Anyhow, Binny insisted that we sew Monkey back up, and while he was open I decided to do a little stuffed animal liposuction by removing all of his old stuffing. I also took this once in a blue moon chance to run him through the washer and dryer to clean his soiled little body and fluff up his matted fur.
After his bath and tumble dry, we stuffed him up with fresh stuffing and I sewed a new seam in his back. This time I used heavy duty thread.
Good as new!

Glad to see monkey doing well.
Good work Mama! Binny's hair looks cute too.
Wouldn't it be nice if that kind of repair and stuffing worked on humans too? :D
That was some fine doll surgery, Momma!`
My brother, who is now, what, 35? He had a stuffed animal called a womble (long story) that my grandmother made. He loved it so much, he took it in for repairs with grandma over 8 times, I believe. He's still alive and well, after about two face lifts, three hand replacements, many washings and restitchings. I don't think he's slept with anymore, so I think he's good for now. I love kids and their loveys. My sister's was a blanket and she gave it up by giving it to her new baby cousin (who is now expecting her second child, my how time flies).
Hmmmm, could I borrow her for a day? We've got a bag full of injured stuffed animals.
