Checkered couple











Oops. Bought socks in the wrong size...
Trashcan or reconstruct? What do you think?!
Turned them into this couple who have now created a home for themselves on top of my bookcase.

I just cut and sewn as it seemed logic to me. There are many tutorials of how to make sock monkeys and puppets to be found online. Webgoddess has a clear step by step tutorial which is a good starting point if you don't want to just wing it.


Oh yeah, stuffing a long looong and narrow tail is not a fun activity.

Hi Serin,
I will send you an email soon.
I tried to check your weblog, but it didn't look like a blog, but a biblestudy page with a lot of advertisements?
