Meet the maker

Emily (designer, maker, illustrator living in Glasgow) and Julia (maker - Emily's mum living in Derbyshire) are Dotty Monkey. We're carrying on a family tradition of homemade toys - every child should have at least one quirky, unique creature to love. The monkeys started as sock monkeys but we discovered Liberty jersey and couldn't resist using it instead of socks. We love many other fabrics too, retro, American, rag bag and charity shop finds, and keep looking for new things to make with them. Enjoy your visit to our shop!
