3 years ago on the sock monkey's thread I said I really fancied making one, I've eventually gotten the finger out and started when someone asked if there were socks that looked like the American flag, there was and I bought them. I didn't take a picture of that one before I sent it and one made out of socks that had Dollars on them to my daughter in America. Anyway I've made a few of them and I'm loving it, my only problem is that I do things obsessively and then I get fed up and go on to something else or at least I try to :rotfl:

A few of my sock monkey's

the one made from the Dollar socks

My daughter loves her sock monkey's :rotfl:

I'd like to keep the lacy bottom but how to shorten it and what stitch to use too is my problem!

Anja the photo hasn't shown on the post. Did you upload it to photo bucket or some other such site? Photobucket gives the cose for the image to embed in the post.:)

Not the best photo but I've finally finished this dress today. I started in May! Since we finally got the weather for it I thought I should finish it

Do you have a zigzag stitch to reattach the lacy bottom? or overlock may be better? But first decide whether you can [STRIKE]be bothered to[/STRIKE] unpick all round the lacy bottom or if you'll just snip it off. Plus there is the problem of stopping the vest unravelling.

That dress is gorgeous, it reminds me of my mum many many years ago, we'd go ( I'd be dragged ) up town on a Saturday morning, mum would buy material, she'd make a dress in the afternoon and she would wear it to go out that night, thank you for giving me that memory
