Sock pig

 We know a toddler who is obsessed with pigs and I had an idea to make her a little plush pig. Wanting something both squishy and resilient I thought I'd make it from a sock.

these were the best options - we decided on the bright stripes 

Since it was a knee sock, I cut of the leg just above the heel and set it aside for another project. Then I stuffed it and sewed it shut. The foot ended up a bit too long so I ended up cutting off the toe as well, gathering that shut.


Since I had a small scrap that I'd cut off of the toe, I cut it in half and used it to make the ears. Then I made some knots to pull in depressions for the eyes that I finished with fabric paint.
