Young Embroiderers' Glove Animals


Yesterday was my first day of stitching in my sewing room in 2012. I intend being far more organised this year and spending more time in there being creative and playing with lots of different materials and media, that I had had to buy over the years. What this space I promise to blog more too!

Last night whilst watching TV, I made this dog out of a glove, ready for our next Young Embroiderers'  meeting at the end of the month. I have been making sock creatures at school for several year now and enjoyed the challenge of doing something else. The problem I have found is then when using a childs glove the limbs are a bit to short, so I am going to make another one with an adult glove. All gloves from Primark, 50p a pair, so a cheap project to occupy anyone. For another sample look at Sharne's blog.

  3. What a cutie! My daughter just made her first sock monkey and I can see the appeal. So many fun variations on a theme.
