Posted on May 5, 2013 by Glenn

I made these guys this weekend. They started life as a scarf and a yellow sock.

The largest bear I’ve made to date.

The goddamn Batbear

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Glenn

Finished the last of the Justice Socks of America – Batbear! His cowl can be pulled back. I made him to sell but I like him so much, I think I’ll keep him.

So, this Sock Bear thing is getting out of hand. Have made a bunch more, including Green Lantern Bear, here. I made the other one from a big furry throw that my mother asked me to use. I know the proportions are a little… unusual. Anyway, hope she likes it!

Presenting: Boss-Eyed Bear!
Today’s experiment using proper toy eyes. Didn’t quite get the placement right but he was still fun to make.

Sock Bears

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Glenn

Inspired by a friend’s sock monkey, I decided to have a go at making a sock animal of my own. These three are my first attempts. Not bad, considering I’d never sewn anything before in my life.
