Question

Would this doll be washable?

Lindy Taylor

Community Answer

The sock part would be washable, but it would be inadvisable to put it in the washing machine. If you MUST wash the whole thing, gently hand-washing it would probably work, taking care not to tangle the yarn up.

Question

What should I do if I don't have a sewing machine?

Community Answer

You can sew by hand. If you don't have a needle and thread laying about, consider purchasing a small sewing kit.

Question

What can I use for the eyes besides buttons?

Community Answer

You could get fake eyes at a hobby or craft store. That will allow you to give your doll realistic eyes in whichever color you choose.

Question

How do you sew buttons

Community Answer

It depends on how many holes are on the button. If it's four, you can sew it like a cross. If it's two, just stick the threaded needle in one and out the other.

Can it be a voodoo doll?

Voodoo is not real, but if you want to pretend your sock doll is a voodoo doll, that's perfectly fine.

How to make a dress for a sock doll out of white socks?

Cut the ends off of a long sock (the length of the doll or as long as u want the dress), then slide it up your doll's body then cut two thing bracelet shapes out of socks. Then cut them in half, glue one side of one of them to the back of the shoulder and other side to front. Repeat on other side.

Question

Can I use other colors?

Community Answer

Of course! Be creative and use any colors you want. A doll could have a different skin tone, or if you used green socks, she could be a witch or outer-space alien. Her hair could be made with any color yarn or string.

Question

Would paper work well for making the clothing?

Community Answer

I wouldn't recommend using paper since it's so easily bent, crushed, or torn.

What do I do if I have nothing to Stuff the socks with?

Be creative. The stuffing from an old pillow or even torn up rags will work.
