Sock Dog Tutorial

Meet Bertie, their cousin! She has been very generous to agree to let me show you how she was made. You'll need: One men's sock (the bigger the better!)StuffingRibbon for the collarNeedle and threadButton for the nose (optional)Sewing machine (optional) So, here's what you're starting with. Ears: Cut the toe of the sock off about 1.5 - 2 inches in a slight arch, the more of the toe you cut off, the floppier her ears will be. Now comes the tricky part. Separate the two halves of the toe of the sock and fold them in half with the right sides of the sock facing each other. With your sewing machine, sew along the straight edge, leaving as small a seam allowance as possible. Body: Now let's move on to Bertie's body. Before you start stuffing we need to cut out her tail and her four legs. Stuff Bertie's body. Each time you stuff a limb or her leg I would recommend pinning it like I did below before you stitch it on. Tail: Grab the portion of the sock that you cut for the tail.

Then you’ll sew the opposite triangle. Next, I added some blue fabric inside the brim. I then pinned the blue inner brim to the base of the outer hat fabric with right sides together. Turn the hat wrong-side out. Here’s what the inside looks like:
