Sock & Felt Creations

[Amethyst_ice]

Hi all,

This year I decided to make my friends sock creatures. It has been a few years since I have sewn and as I got further through discovered which worked and which didn't. I know know how to embroider faces and I will start experimenting with different animals soon (hamsters, dogs, own)! I also tried crafting with felt. All went down well at christmas and I feel proud I made them..still ahve a few more to make!

Country Cat


Aqua Cat


Cupcake Cat


Snow Cat (had white glitter and my grandma got her)


Ham Cat (now owner of Suga)


Kiss Cat


OMG Bunny (and my sis who got it for christmas)


Steampunk kitty


Scat Rat (for my rat friend, he will be posted next week)


This broach for my mum where sadly it fell off her bag yesterday just after I took this picture


Broach I made for myself

Perhaps one will adopt you after Amethyst finishes her dissertation

Ham Cat is very happy in the lounge. It was entertaining try to work out what part was from what part of the sock .

Oh my, they are truly impressive! They are the kind of thing that would cost a fortune in those fancy "shabby chic" decorating kind of shops! Are they just made out of a pair of socks, no other fabric? I want to make one! Ham cat looks like he is making an ironic statement, wearing hamster pyjamas, lol

They sell these (though I must say yours look about ten times better) on Greenwich market for about £10 a pop! I love the ratty I have a collection of ratty cuddlys now massing on the top of the boys cage though sadly one did get pulled through and had his tail bitten off... ironically by Crashdown who lost half his tail to an incident like that irl.

What do you stuff them with? Teddy stuffing or more socks?

Thanks all, I was super nervous giving them to people..they came with a little tag around their neck -

"I once was a sock believe it or not
I may not be perfect but I hope you will
Love me"

All made form a pair of socks, stuffed from an old pillow...i really was trying to economise!!! Gamina one may be adopting you soon for all your generosity to the ratty boys xxxx

He would take pride of place on the cage although he would have to watch his tail!
