You need:
- Felt
- Needle and possibly pins
- Similar coloured yarn
- Scissors
- Lace for decoration
First detach the legs so it’s easier to work with. Lay your felt underneath it so you can measure how long you need it. You are aiming to have a long tube which will fit around the legs all the way up to the first hole in the side. My felt wasn’t long enough to do that so I had to use two pieces to make it long enough.
The cut out pieces, one for each leg.
To join the two pieces together I used a shoelace style stitch. This is to make sure it lays as flat as possible, you don’t want a wobbly table!
All sewn together into one piece:
After you’ve sewn them together, just make sure it’s still the correct length…
Now sew the other one :D
Now thread your needle with the yarn. Wrap the felt around the end of the leg and stitch (or pin) it in place to hold it.
Using a blanket stitch start sewing the felt into a tube around the leg.
It should look something like this:
Keep going all the way up!
When you reach the top where the hole is poke the needle through it then wrap the thread around a few times. This will secure the sock at the top of the leg so it doesn’t wiggle down while you’re using it.
Now at end you started at use the yarn to close up the hole.
Looks like this:
So this is what it looks like with the socks fully on..
Now it’s time to decorate :D I sewed a ring of lace around the top of the sock.
Finished! Heehee they remind me of cute little Lolita style socks :D
Much safer for the tile and a lot less of that irritating scraping noise!
Finished!
On another note, with all the questions I’ve been getting lately about nail art I’m going to do a FAQ like the Hime Style one I did a few weeks ago. If you have any questions you would like included just comment or contact me. |
That is so cute! You have the best tutorials (^-^)
Aww! Thank you so much Kae!
Oooh cute and nifty indeed. I know about that scalding laptop thing – mine gets up to a whopping 70C which I’m sure isn’t good for it and MAN that hurts your legs…..or tummy like me when we watch movies in bed. Hehehee
Holy bajeebus 70C?! Actually I had some drama a few weeks ago with my Macbook pro… the battery did the exploding thing! I can’t believe how hot they get >_< I actually have a mini tray table (one of the ones with a bean bag on the bottom) so I don't get burned in bed!
the socks are so cute!!!111
Heehee thank you!
Very clever :D
Thank you!
Hi Violet! I love your tutorials! With the nail one coming up – I would *LOVE* for you to answer some questions about the glue you use and the “sticking them on” process. Thats the part where I fail so any help from a pro would be awesome!!!
Cant wait for it!
Cheers,
Meaghan. :)
Hi Meaghan! Thanks so much for commenting, I’ll definitely cover those topics for you in the FAQ ^_^ Thank you!
again, too adorable!
Haha thank you!
That is so pretty! It’s such a good idea too, because with the first ever laptop I got, I had it on my lap so often that the motor burnt out and the whole thing died.
Yes I know what you mean, it’s so irritating! I don’t understand the point of making a laptop that can’t be held on your lap because it’s so hot!
