Title: This is what I have been doing all day...

I am learning how to sew and I had a lot of socks that were just far too old to use... so I did this !! Pinkie Pie seems to be ready for bed.

I had in mind doing pillows for dolls in the beginning, so I did these:

The thing is, I still have the other sock on each of these designs (minus the blue Mickey, of course). So I am wondering if people would be interested in a set similar to the one Pinkie is wearing (beanie hat/pillow)? Or should I just make the other pair as a pillow as well? Would anyone like to buy/trade something like this? For how much?

Thanks for your input (and I hope this is the right forum for this...?).

Ooh, I'm learning to sew, too! Isn't it addicting and fun? And you don't just have to learn how to run the material through the machine- you have to learn minor repair skills and thinking through what you are going to make- at least as far as the next step!
These are adorable- your Pinkie looks so happy! As for sales or trades, I don't have any ideas. I don't usually buy costumes or accessories for my ponies, but I know there are lots of people who do!

Oh oh oh ! It is so much fun !! :D I'm loving it so much !! I'm just trying to learn how to sew properly first before I go into bigger things: plushies ! :) Too bad I don't have a machine, but maybe sometime this year I'll have money to buy one~ What have you been doing so far to learn? I would love to see it !

You did that without a machine? Kudos to you, my patient friend! My sewing project yesterday was...

It used to be a shoe organizer, but the pockets were too small for my shoes or for regular ponies, so I decided to alter it a bit for these guys!
I'm still a few steps from plushies- I'm working my way through quilts. I've got one top ready, I just need to get filler. If I can finish one quilt, then I can try something else. Maybe clothes? THEN plushies, my sewing machine doesn't really like corners so I'm a little nervous about them.

Oh, I hope other people start making them! I felt like a freakin' rocket scientist when I thought of it, until I realized I would have to keep collecting the blind bags now- they look so tidy in there!


ETA: Sonata, I looked back at your pictures, and your stitches are lovely! They seriously look like a machine! (that's honestly a compliment, even though it might not sound like one!)
