Now.... onto my second project...

First one turned out pretty well.. so why not do another the next morning?  I woke up quite early that Sunday morning.. and started working on an oinky surprise for my boyfriend (who have picked out already what he wants made from the book).

Having a bunch of buttons to choose from is great.. considering you never know which to use for what occasion!  I suggest getting those deals on a bucket-of-buttons... I managed to get quite a good selection of different types of colors and sizes.

The thing with making the pig, is to make it as bursting round as possible, without over-stretching the sock material.  This is probably one of the easier dolls to make (as I was still in my practice phase).  One important thing to watch out for is the proportion of the ears to the body.  I have researched on piggy dolls which were made by other people, and they sorta look funny... The key to making sock dolls look beyond adorable is knowing which features to over-emphasize and exaggerate!!
