It is enough that purchased socks break after one walk, learned to sew yourself, any fabric will fit.

I can't get past the new socks. Now it has become fashionable to wear bright socks, both men and women wear them. And a funny drawing lifts the mood. I believe that a person’s character can be determined by socks, and I always pay attention to what color a man’s socks are. I like it when a man wears white socks, and I like bright ones. In stores now you can rarely find good durable socks, and quality are not so cheap. Today I will tell you how to sew socks for any foot size at home.



For sewing you will need any fabric: it can be an old sweater or T-shirt, a piece of piled fleece or scarf, which is pathetic to throw away. The beauty is that you can choose any color and sew good socks for any occasion. Well, if the fabric stretches, it will be a little harder to work with it on a sewing machine, but the sock will lie perfectly on the leg. In general, such socks can be sewn without a machine.

1. First, draw a pattern. You'll need two measures: foot length and foot width. In this case, sew socks for the foot length of 23 cm. On a rectangle measuring 20 cm x 32 cm, measure 10 cm and place two dots on the sides, receding at the edges of 0.5 cm.
   
   
   
   
2. From 10 cm, measure 4 cm and put marks higher. The distance between the points is divided in half and retreat to the middle of 3 cm, make marks. Now draw a dotted line in the middle and connect the extreme points to the dots in the middle. It's the heel of the sock.
3. Divide the upper corners of the rectangle in lines of 3 cm long. Find the middle of the page and make a point. Connect all the points with a smooth line to make a sock. Heel pattern ready.
   
   
   
   
4. The pattern for the front of the sock is even easier. You can draw it on dots, or you can just circle this pattern on the fabric, subtracting from the length of 4 cm. There are no socks on the front.
5. To sew a sock rubber band, measure the desired length at will. Fold the rectangle of rubber band fabric twice and sew the edge. The rubber band should be already 2 cm wide so that the sock is held on the leg.
   
   
   
   
6. Move the pattern onto the cloth and circle it with a piece of soap. To make it easier to sew, step away from the 3 mm line and draw a dotted line. Cut the blanks on the dotted line.
7. Hit the sock heel. It is better to do this with a zigzag line or a line for knitwear. If you have an overlock, you can immediately make a neat seam on it.
   
   
   
   
8. Put the sock parts face-to-face inside and pull them off. If you doubt your abilities, you can take details before sewing on a typewriter. You can get them on the machine right away.
9. Turn the sock and sew it with a rubber band folded twice. Done.
   
   
   
   

In order to understand the nuances of the pattern visually, I suggest watching a video on the YouTube channel of a skilled seamstress. She describes in detail each step taken in the manufacture of sock patterns. In the future, this pattern can be used constantly.

If you sew such socks from dense fabric and glue insoles from felt to them, you will get home cozy slippers. On this principle, you can sew cheerful baby slippers-legs or sew a set of socks for a gift to relatives and friends. You can come up with your own sock design and be sure that no one else will have such socks. Sewing themed socks is relevant for children's mornings and costume parties. This is a reliable way to get good socks and give a second life to old things. How about that?
