Thanks for that - I did save the stuffing until last as I couldn't be bothered getting up to find some! LOL! I imagine it must be quicker to have a little production line going if doing more than one, do all the machine sewing first, then all the stuffing, then all the hand stitching. I probably took longer because I wanted it to be perfect, and that's not really the point is it?!0

Natbag: i've made lots of these little darlings and the ones most people coo over are the ones with lopsided ears and a cockeyes look with the eyes.
the favourite of all was the baby one i did with the socks inside out0 -
Thanks for the tips, they sound lovely!
My son hasn't let go of his all day! He has so many toys, and he chooses to play with a pair of socks LOL!
Got some more socks in Primark today, so once I have some more stuffing I'm going to try and make a few more for Christmas gifts. Just depends on when this baby decides to arrive as that will put a stop to my crafting.Property buying/selling timeline - currently into week 21
