Embroidering Socks

Embroidering socks are a wonderful way to save an old pair of socks that has holes in them. Depending on the size of the hole on the sock, the socks can be saved by embroidering them. You can design anything on your sock depending on the size of the hole. In this example, a flower was embroidered onto a pair of socks. The hole was covered with the leaf of the flower.

You can use the same color floss thread or assorted colors to make your flower embroidery onto your socks. In this example, the same color thread was used for both socks. Make sure you have enough embroidery floss thread before beginning this project. After you are done embroidering the flower onto each sock, you will be able to wear your socks with your tennis shoes. Here is the tutorial for embroidering a flower onto your socks.

Materials:

Embroidery floss thread

Embroidery needles

One pair of socks

Scissors

Regular thread

Regular needle

Tennis ball

Instructions: 

Begin by washing your socks. Wait for your socks to get dry. Then, make sure the fabric of the socks stretches so you can embroider your flower. Sew the hole in reverse with a ball inside the sock. Once you are done covering the hole, you can reverse the sock to the front side.

Use a circle stencil to embroider the leaf. Then, fill in the circle. The circle will begin taking on a new oval shape. After that continue filling in the circle with thread. Then, make the stem of the leaf with your embroidery floss thread.

Next, continue adding the stem. Once you have the stem, you can add a flower. You can use a flower stencil to make your flower. Embroider the flower by outlining the flower. Continue adding thread until your tulip is complete.

Trim the leftover threads with scissors. Repeat the same steps to make the second flower on the other sock. Try to make the same flower on the other sock. Do not worry if the flowers do not line up the same way on both socks. Nonetheless, have fun saving your old pair of socks with embroidery.
