It all started last year when I (Becca) was given a make your own sock bunny kit. That's how the interest started. I needed a quick easy sew it yourself project to use at the clothiers guild sessions. Sock bunnies were the way forward. So we made an army:
Then for Christmas this year my sister brought me a book - how to make more sock animals http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/160061907X/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0297853473&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1BTX97SGBE5V8Q323KGX
The only problem is that you're supposed to use stray socks or unpaired socks. But any good mafia member knows you don't wear pairs of socks so that you don't limit your wardrobe. So I have to keep going out and buying new socks. (Be wary no sock is safe!!)
So armed with a pile of socks and a duvet I got to making some. To start with the Cheshire Cat

| And a body |
 |
| Sew it all together and add eyes mouth and a button nose |

And then using a baby sock I made a squirrel for my mother
But the adventure isn't over yet..... I have many more socks and things to sew... watch this space.
