Yes, they’re readily avilable on the high street, but why would you pay £5 for something so easy to make yourself?
Take a trip down school-uniform memory lane with this step-by step sock guide. Step-by-step...geddit?
You will need: A pair of socks;
thread; a metre of lace; some
sewing pins and a pint glass
Step 1: Stretch the sock over the
pint glass. this will keep the lace in
place whilst you sew and make sure
it isnt too tight for your ankle.
Step 2: Pin the lace into place
around the edge of the sock, making
sure the edges line up exactly.
Step 3: Use a simple loop stitch to
secure the lace.
Step 4: Repeat on the other sock
and try on to ensure the fit is right.
If not, unpick the stitches and try
stretching the sock a little more.
Step 5: Grab your favourite pair of
Mary Janes and wear with pride!
These socks also look great with the
frill peeking out from a pair of Docs
or Converse

whimsical 50’s vintage, they are super easy to make and can be worn in any number of ways - as a hairclip, on
an Alice band, a bow tie, on a belt, stitched onto a bag... the possibilities are endless. To get you in the know,
