| Sock Sweaters :) Ok, again, I am NO seamstress. I can't sew to save my life. BUT, I can cut holes with scissors to destroy sock. hehe Made these 2 for my niece's Chihuahua puppy, Gilbert. I know it ain't much but if you knew how NON-crafty I am, you'd be proud! Ha! ...Thought I'd throw the 3rd pic in so you could see is cute face. Sending this to my niece in the hospital via text so he can say good morning to mommy

Thank goodness there actually is one more person that knows as little as I do about sewing!!!!! I have a drawer full of these creations myself!!! I have also used the sleeve of some pretty sweaters that my son had outgrown...... or for a more "formal" look, you can actually use a sleeve from a shirt that has a buttom cuff, that goes at the neck! | |

| Basically, I just measured from his neck to his butt and then again the distance from neck to front legs and distance between front legs. I used the top of the sock and the "neck" and measured down his length and cut the rest of the sock off. Then measured and cut two little arm holes. I used trial and error after putting it on to figure out how much to "scoop" cut off the bottom so he had clearance to pee. Since these were fuzzy socks, I actually took a lighter and singed around all the cut areas so the fuzzies wouldn't keep coming off.
