Fabric for Finders Keepers
November 19, 2009
I wanted to something special for the Finders Keepers market in December – something that wasn’t quite as focused on babies and kids. So in an indulgent moment I started to put together pieces from my stash that I would love a little owl to be made out of. The kind of thing I’d want sitting on my desk. I’m so inspired by fabric at the moment – especially Australian and Japanese fabric. These pieces by Surface Art, Aunty Cookie, and the Japanese Cosmo Tex will be going in to a little trio of baby owls for kits. They’re going with simple little grey and charcoal socks. Yum!
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

Hi Claire,
Love the colors. Gotta tell you, I was inspired by your little softie monster to make a few sock monsters of my own to donate. I just put up a tutorial if you’re interested.
