The Upcycled Cotton Monsters of Jennifer Strunge

Artist Jennifer Strunge breathes a ghastly new life into discarded garments and fabrics with these extraordinary plush creations called Cotton Monsters.

Aiming to give new life to secondhand sweatshirts, velour track suits and polo shirts of the world, most of my creations are constructed using clean thrifted clothing as well as sheets and fabric remnants. Each is handmade one at a time, on my Bernina sewing machine, stuffed with brand new super-soft polyester fiberfill and finished with hand-stitching, all in my tiny attic home studio.

You can take home your own little Cotton Monster from Strunge’s Etsy shop as well.
