Monster Pocket Pals are the first set in the Pocket Pals Series!

Thank you to all who preordered this series!

 

Pocket Pals are cuddly stuffed softies with a large pocket on the front for storing special treasures!

If vinyl is used for the pocket, they make a great "lovey" for a little one to take when apart from Mom or Dad.

Or a special nursery keepsake with a picture of the newborn.

A fabric pocket can hold lots of little treasures or offer a unique way to present a gift card to someone special!

Pocket Pals are included in two hoop sizes for the 6x10 hoop and the 5x7 hoop.

Each pocket pal is made entirely in one hooping with just one small seam sewn shut by hand upon completion.

The Monster Pocket Pals One Set includes:
Monster Pocket Pal for the 6x10 hoop

Monster Pocket Pal for the 5x7 hoop
