After that, stuff the muzzle with stuffing material densely through the opening until the muzzle is raised. Starting from the bottom, sew around the muzzle, leaving about 1/2″ opening. Place the muzzle piece onto the lower half of the head. I placed 2 pins at the endpoints of the toe seamline as a reference point when I need to place the parts on the face.
The head should be slightly bigger than the bottom of the body for cuteness proportion. Sew to gather the raw edge and to close the opening.
Stuff the head densely with the stuffing material. Insert it into the tail.įold in the raw edges, slip stitch them to close the opening. Tailįold the pipe cleaners into a third then twist the strands together. Just fold in the raw edge of the sock side, whip stitches it to the felt side to close the opening. The left arm in the picture is before shaping, the right arm in the picture is shaped. Shape the arm by rolling it with both palms to make it round at the tip and slender towards the opening. Stuff the arms densely at the front tip, slowly reduce the density towards the opening. Sew to gather the raw edge and close the top opening once you have done the stuffing and shaping.Īfter I took this picture, I added a big ‘cross’ at the abdominal as the belly button of the sock puppy. Also, shaping the bottom of the body flat with a bigger base will help the sock puppy to sit properly on its own. By doing this, the legs are able to bend better. If you want to make the sock puppy that can sit on its own, do not fill the upper part of the legs that link to the body. Then stuff the lower body densely, slowly reduce the density as you fill. STUFFING AND SHAPEįor the body, stuff both legs densely to make them round and firm. A pair of blunt point tweezers will be of good help to insert the stuffing material into smaller parts like the tail and the arms. Turn all pieces right side out and stuff the body, arms, and head with adequate poly-fill stuffing material, massage and shape it nicely. Placed the felt earpieces on the sock, pin and sew along the solid traced line. Felt pieces (except ears) do not need any seam allowance, just cut them out following the traced lines.Ĭut ear pieces from felt with allowance only on the 2 slant sides, the bottom doesn’t need seam allowance. Sew along the solid traced lines (except earpieces) with either using a sewing machine or hand stitch.Ĭut out the sock pieces with approx. Since not all socks are made in the same size, sometimes you might need to adjust and hand sketch the template on the sock if needed. Trim off about half inch from the cuff edge to make the body. Place the leg template on the sock to trace both legs. The body of the pug puppy is connected to the legs as 1 piece, only the leg template is given in the pattern template. Trace the sock puppy templates on the sock as shown in the picture with a water-soluble fabric marker, or, you may use a silver permanent marker to lightly trace the line on the darker color socks. Turn the sock right side in, flatten and lay the sock as shown in the picture. Remove the elastic bands at the cuff edge of the socks if necessary. Gather the materials and tools needed to sew the sock puppy. Cut out the paper templates from the cardstock. Seam Allowance: give yourself approximately 1/8” or 1/4” (you need bigger seam allowance for loose-knit and thinner sock materials because they can be ripped off easily)ĭownload and print out the Sock Pug Puppy Template on a letter-size cardstock. Trace the Dog Bone template on the wrong side of the fabric, sew around, and leave a 1" opening.
