Lazy cat sock doll tutorial

Hi cat lovers! ... This tutorial is making cat sock doll  ... I created this tutorial upon request DAAI TV (local TV) ... they asked a simple doll tutorial in order to follow the kids who watch this show. After browsing here and there I finally decided to make a sock puppet ... and it was so easy to make it if we try directly! 

Let's try ...!

Materials and equipment needed is quite simple: 1 sock, synthetic fiber filling, sewing and embroidery thread, markers, scissors, needle

Step by Step:

Reverse socks and put the heel of the sock above

Picture of a cat's head on the tip of the sock in his ear piece just drawing curves as above, it's easy ...?

Sew the curve by hand stitching or use a sewing machine, without cutting first so it does not roll

If it is stitched and then we cut 2-3mm from the top of the stitches

Then we cut the bottom of the cat's head (the tip of the finger socks) for reverse and fill ... continue ... turn the head of a cat.

we make cat's body, cat foot drawing by dividing the two ends of the upper and lower ends of leftover sock with a line of about 5cm, and then drawing a curve around the earlier lines, is to mark the place to be sewn. lines made ​​earlier for the mark to be cut

Sew the legs following the line mark sewing before, until all the top and bottom closed as shown below ... and cut the top of the sock.

Cut the line that divides the two legs, remember not to cut stitches that you make

Cut little cat's belly (top of sock, not the heel)

Once reversed so like this

Fill the head and body with synthetic fibers. Fill your cat's head from his ears, complete with a formed enough so round. Fill cats body from toe first.

Stitch together head holes pull thread through the hole and knot closed.

Close opening with skewers stairs stomach (almost like stitch together but zigzag stitches across each two edges )

Decorative face doll with embroidery using wool yarn / knitting yarn

Learn about Dolls and How to make: Waldorf Doll (traditional European dolls)

A Waldorf doll (also called Steiner doll) is a form of doll used in Waldorf education. Made of wool and cotton, using techniques drawing on traditional European dollmaking, its appearance is intentionally simple in order to allow the child playing with it to improve or strengthen imagination and creativity. For instance, it has no facial expression. Its legs and arms are flexible, allowing natural postures.

Traditional Waldorf dolls are made from cotton interlock knit fabric and wool stuffing. They are often entirely natural. Typically the trademark long hair of a Waldorf doll is made of mohair or boucle. Some doll makers use alternative hair material such as wool, rayon, and cotton. The facial features of a Waldorf doll vary with the maker. Most Waldorf dolls have small suggestions of noses, their eye and mouth colors are generally varied with each doll.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
