Primitive Sock Cat

Primitive Sock Cat

In years past, women were very industrious when creating toys for their children. Sock animals came out of that tradition of using what you had. I'm happy to offer my version of a sock cat stuffed with wool batting. The cat's face, heart and stripes have been sewn on by hand. A little collar was made from aged cotton twill tape. The cat body is made from 100% cotton sock fabric with a tight fine weave like a fancy knee sock. I used to use this fabric to make reproduction socks when I was an active living historian for my wardrobe. The cat measures almost 8" high and 3 1/2" inches wide. The tail measures 4" long. To help add to the primitive worn look, I've aged the fabric and added some "mending stitches". The cat is very huggable and is safe for child's play. The asking price includes shipping. $35
