Book Reviews of Stupid Sock Creatures Book & Kit

Book Review: My husband is threatening to install a lock on his sock drawer.
Summary: 5 Stars

I was wildly attracted to the insane looking creatures on the book's cover and even more ecstatic when I found this kit offered; the obvious benefit that you can make a creature immediately - and I'm sure Mr. Murphy, the author, knew that once that was done, you'd be hopelessly hooked!

You'd think a sock would pose many limitations, but once you get the simple, basic techniques down, you're limited only by your own imagination. The slightest alteration in stitching and element placement (limbs, facial features, etc.) can produce fantastically varying results.

Important to me, a "stuffing novice", was the inclusion in this kit of the appropriate polyester fiberfill which is extremely soft and fluffy. (Michael's sells what I found was the best, Fairfield's Poly-fil Supreme.)

You really can't go wrong with the wonderfully detailed instructions and helpful tips in this book. And get this... he even provides ideas on how to use the leftover scraps from each project. I think at that point, I was ready to give him my first born. *lol* Once I finished my first creature, I couldn't help but giggle every time I looked at him sitting on the back of the couch. Each subsequent creature's personality blossomed quickly and amusingly. I originally wanted to make these as gifts, but I'm finding that I just can't part with my new friends!

Summary of Stupid Sock Creatures Book & Kit

Stupid Sock Creatures brought to life the most incredible, irresistible flock of wacky monster creatures ever seen on this planet. And with this wildly creative kit, it?s fantastically easy to create such characters as three-eyed Jordan, four-footed Estelle, and other wickedly funny soft toys to cherish (and covet). And you won?t even have to raid your sock drawer, because all the necessary materials are here, starting with the Stupid Sock Creatures paperback. Also inside the kit: compacted polyester fiberfill stuffing, shrink-wrapped; one pair of patterned crew socks and one pair of solid-colored socks, each in a poly bag; 12 assorted buttons; 50 yards of polyester quilting thread; one sewing needle; one five-inch doll needle; and three strips of assorted brightly-colored ribbon. Plus, there?s an instruction sheet of brand new creature variations, not shown in the book. Crafters will want to stitch up an army of these kooky but cuddly creations!
