YES, we make every bit of our merchandise with our own 4 hands (there are two of us working together as a mother-daughter team) even going so far as to making our own patterns and sometimes printing our own fabric!
YES, we really do try to ship the same day (or as soon as the Post Office opens next day!), so your item will arrive ASAP!
Generally, due to the size of our inventory, our listings only show shipping within the US, but if you'd like an item shipped out of the country, just let us know and we'll be happy to find out the shipping costs for you! We typically ship items the same day you order them (or first thing when the Post Office opens). Customer Service is #1!!!

5 out of 5 starsI bought three of these little guys. They were bigger than I thought, but that was just fine with me. I got so many compliments on them!!

5 out of 5 starsI was completely charmed by my experience with this vendor. Not only is the product clearly good quality and well made, but the extra effort made with the packaging was lovely. The hand-written thank you in the receipt and the detailed care instructions really indicated the care and pride the creators have for their product, and the sweet little gift bag of purple monster prizes were met with much excitement by my little daughter who is so looking forward to being a purple monster for Halloween. Thank you!!

5 out of 5 starsI can not tell you how special these were for my daughter. The day one of her favorite patients passed, she told me the story behind this crew of characters. When I relayed the story and you agreed to make them, I could not have imagined just how perfect they’d be. And shipped the VERY NEXT DAY!! There’s no way for me to thank you enough for doing this for us! I’m forever MMCV’s biggest fan!! Love, love, LOVE!

From start to finish, our HANDMADE monsters will make you SMILE!
Way back in 1989, there was a girl named Sabrina who wanted to make cool stuff that would make other people smile. So she did! For many years, she made dolls, and costumes, and toys, and home decor, and jewelry, and much more. Her little business morphed and changed names a few times..."Kitten's Kids", "Sabrina's Scrap Bag", and "Sabrina's Scraps" to name a few. Whatever she called it, people really seemed to like the goodies she made out of re-purposed materials on a shoestring budget (long before this was fashionable!) Before long, her craft goodies were all over San Diego County, and finding their ways into homes in other states.
And in the midst of all this crafting chaos, she became a MOM too! Two kids later, she found herself so busy, that it was time to take a break from the crafts...it was a long time away...more than enough time to charge her creative batteries and raise a couple of awesome adults (with the help of her supportive husband.)
23 years after making her first doll for sale, she found herself with totally NEW ideas in her head, and plethora of teenagers surrounding her with even MORE new ideas. But how could she do it alone???
Lo and behold, she found she didn't HAVE to do it alone...she had a built-in partner in crime...ahem...in CREATIVITY! So "Mostly Monsters CV" was hatched...
with daughter Taylor's artistic ideas & pop-culture sensibilities, and Mom Sabrina's crafty know-how, the team got to work making some of the most ADORABLE monsters around!
Colorful furry hats, cuddly pillows, not-so-scary monsters, dolls, toys, jewlery, barrettes, and the list goes on!
We start with hand-drawn ideas (we've got three Composition books FILLED with ideas and illustrations so far!!!), create our own patterns from tissue paper and cardstock, and let the sewing machine FLY as our little guys come to life! (In case you wondered, most of our machine sewing is done on a 1963 Singer Sewing Machine!) Many of our items are one-of-kind, and even those with twins, triplets, or those who come in "Flocks" retain their individual personalities with hand-sewn expressions and details.
As long as we've got ideas percolating and nimble fingers to create them, the monsters will just keep on coming!!! And if our monsters have made you SMILE, then we know we've done our job well.
We are so proud to announce that the MONSTERS have now paid for Taylor's college tuition, graduating debt free through hard work! But this doesn't mean we're stopping...we've got too many ideas and will continue to support her budding career as a Film Director and/or Editor, so we thank you in advance for helping her earn her first "Oscar"!

FYI: All our goods are handmade in a SMOKE-FREE environment.
However, not "cat-free", although we do store our items where our little rascals can't get in, and give our items a quick "lint-roll" before shipping.

Hagrid
Former Project Overseer
We're sad to report this sweet soul has moved on to new adventures in his next life. He was usually a paws-off manager, often reminding us when there were too many projects on the table by knocking them onto the floor to make room for himself.

"Minnie" (real name Professor Minerva McGonagall)
Straight Pin Supervisor
Minnie enjoys her supervising duties, often getting right to the heart of a project. She is very particular about placement of pins, and is often caught picking the straight pins out of seams one at a time with her teeth.

Snape aka "Little Man"
Supervisor In Training
New member of our team, this little guy is learning the ins & outs of the sewing machine, chasing threads, knocking thimbles & spools off the table, & pouncing on fabric. An expert box inspector, hoping he will be able to fill Hagrids footsteps.
