I had a go at making some sock critters - there's a monkey, bunny and thingumy. What do you think? I can see why some of you are addicted to making them - once you've added a few details, they really do take on their very own personalities.
Anyhows, I'm not making sock critters to sell but just to add to my 'craft' party offerings. I love that they're pretty easy to sew as the fabric doesn't need complicated hemming etc and figured they'd be a great project for those who are relatively new to sewing. I need to work up a super simple version for beginners - those pictured are for people who can already sew.
What's great about these sock critters is that you can adapt the project to suit different levels so those with more advanced sewing skills can make super fancy schmancy versions (like the brilliant itty bitty pirate kitty ones from theothermouse).
My craft parties are primarily for kids and teens - though a few adults have swooned over monkey ...

ReplyDeleteYou'll get addicted... you'll start looking at socks in a whole different way... you'll always been visiting the sock departments in shops looking for inspiration... Be careful...!!!
ReplyDeleteI ran a sock creature make at the school for a day & it was brilliant & was thinking about running parties in my area - but I don't know if I have what it takes, so would love to hear how you get on or if you have any tips?!!
I think your sock creations are absolutely lovely, especially the little bunny at the end - adorable - ooh & thanks for the mention too - very kind xxxx
They are great, ive had a go too and found the socks nice to sew! What a good idea to run a class on them! Love the one on the right!
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant !
ReplyDeleteCute! I'm really happy to see that you made sock critters because I'm kinda scared of monkeys. Okay, really scared of monkeys, but I like sock animals.
