Sockphones

Step 18 Sew it together.

Once pinned in place you are going to want to sew the stuffed and folded part to the sock.

But first, make sure that the headbands don't cross on the part of your socks that will be directly above the top of your head. The headbands should be along the edges of the socks.

Start on the bottom of one side and sew up along the edge. Do this in a way that the needle is always entering up through the sock in the same direction as you move along the edge. Make certain that a few of the stitches are around the headband so that it is held in place.

Once you have sewn all the way around in a half circle and reached the bottom of the other side of the fold, change the direction of your stitching and sew back. In other words, if you were always stitching up before, now you should always be stitching down. When you reach the end, tie a knot or two with the remaining thread.

Do the same for the other sock.

You can sew the headbands to the sock at the part that will lay directly on the top of the head. This is best done by sewing down from the top of on one side of the headband and sewing up on the other. Do this for two or three inches on each headband and then reverse directions. Make a knot or two with the last stitch.
