If you scroll down on this site - almost to the bottom on the right hand side, this little guy is like my "Snodgrass" but If the sock was turned around the other way, the heel of the sock would make his belly instead of his bottom.

Have looked at this one.

Don't think I could make them, but I was thinking of you when I went to the Dollar Tree here, and saw all of those types of socks - from ones for babies, to adult sizes - What wonderful colors they had And I know they are comfy to wear - that is what I use. on my feet in the winter months here.

Wish I could get to your Dollar Tree shop. Bet there are colours that I can't get.

I tried the sock monkey once. Even bought the special red heeled socks. When I cut into them they unraveled so bad i ended up with the whole mess in the trash.

Have looked at other types of socks and think I will stick to the type that I have.

My Mum used to make golliwog dolls, always called Sambo, for the children in the family. She'd find the best of the old black socks worn by the men in the family and create wonderful, friendly, warm, little people that we all loved. Those little dolls lived forever and I often wonder who has my children's black dolls now. Mum always embroidered them in red - just black sock fabric and red wool, no clothes, just embroidered buttons and a line where the jacket might have ended. No special filling, just cut up old socks or fabric.

That's such a lovely memory. I wonder if I can find the pattern on the internet to get a little doll out of a man's sock....

Wish you could all come to my place. Don't know what I will do with all of mine. If I can't give them to friends and family, might go with the trauma teddies.

I didn't have a parrern either. The hippo and Snodgrass I just took from a pic from the net. No excuses at all.

Lyn your little cuties are so sweet. no one coud make them better. What a pity you did not discovered them while aiting so despereatly for your machine :o)
Had once dl a tutorial from a big german journal to make sockanimals. It is in german but a profi like you could manage it with the pics ;o)
There are 9 pages and you get the pattern when ou click on the pic of the animal (I saved them as jpg).
Greetings, Bettina

I need my "edit"-tab back!!!
Would say: No one could make them better!

by mi30kaja 24 Sep 2011

I don't agree with you. You should see what my girlfriend has made. Wait till I make my Lion on Monday.

by ansalu 24 Sep 2011

One thing catches my eye: I've seen that you use button and pearls on some of your cute animals. Are they for babies? I just ask cause I'm always careful with stuff that could be ripped off...
Greetings, Bettina

You can jomp back to embroidery anytime you want - we don't have to help you with more idea's Lyn - you have plenty. Hehehe@

Wouldn't surprise me. It is on the floor just looking at me.

Hey Chris, do you have this design for a sewing machine ? :-)

Your toys are too cute. I am with you, I would love to see others projects like yours. I use to be a cloth doll and soft toymaker but once I got hooked on fsl, I put my fabric away.
