| I don't know, but a sock shirt sounds cute. I've never seen them. I hope someone responds soon.

| I don't know about the socks, but I found online that you can make sweaters/shirts using sleeves off of old sweaters, sweatshirts etc. Just find the one that fits...use the cuff as the neck and cut holes for legs..then just stitch around the cut marks. You can then add, lace, and all sorts of pretty things to make them special. Last edited by Julie1760; 01-05-2008 at 07:18 PM. Reason: added: |

| It has to be stretchy enough to fit around her comfortably, but not too constricting. Just experiment a little. I cut the sock so that it is long enough to cover her (like a tube). I then cut out two holes for her front paws. It doesn't cover her back legs. Piece of cake!! LOL!

| To make the shirts that I made for KaCee, I bought little girls tube socks or crew socks...the ones with the longer tops. Then, I laid a shirt that I had purchased next to it to judge how long to make it. I cut it off to that length, then cut the heel and toe off and made another out of the material left over. To make arm holes, I just cut an x-shaped slit where each are should go. I attached a picture showing where to cut and another of KaCee wearing one of her sock shirts! Hope this helps!
