INSTRUCTIONS

Find some fun themed socks like the Halloween ones we found.  Inexpensive socks can be found for almost any occasion or holiday.  

Search your sock drawer for old socks which no longer have a matching sock.  This is a great way to come up with interesting socks for pillows.

STEP 1

Cut off the top of the sock.

STEP 2

Cut the sock right above the heel.

STEP 3

Turn the sock inside out.

STEP 4

With the needle and thread, use a running stitch to stitch closed one side of the sock. Knot the thread when you get to the end and snip the thread. Click the link for a tutorial on the running stitch.

STEP 5

Turn the sock right-side out and fill it with poly-fil.

STEP 6

Turn the raw edge under and pin it in place.

STEP 7

Then whip stitch the end closed. When you finished whip stitching the end closed, tie a knot at the end and snip the thread.

That's It! The Halloween themed doll pillow is finished. You can make pillows for the dollhouse with other themes such as Christmas, Easter, etc. Or just make pillows with plain socks.
