Make a Sock Animal with Cal Patch

Join us on Saturday May 1st from 10:30am to 12:30pm and let Cal Patch teach you how to turn a pair of socks into an adorable new friend.

Use a pair of socks to make a sweet stuffed dog (or other critter) with just a few snips and a little hand sewing. Customize with some button eyes and a few stitches of embroidery, and you’ll want to make a whole menagerie!

You bring the socks, we’ll provide everything else. Children’s socks are recommended, and no tube socks! Heels are integral to the process…

Cost: $25 + $5 materials fee
