Socktopi

Sixteen year old Leah Israel shared “My organization makes what I like to call, “Socktopi” which are stuffed animal octopi made out of new socks. They are somewhat like sock monkeys, except they are octopi instead of monkeys. The socks were donated to me by a family friend from his warehouse and my grandma has given me lots of thread and needles after teaching me how to sew around 6 years ago. I have been using Fairfield’s Original Poly-Fil Premium Polyester Fiber Fill to create my Socktopi. I have tried other stuffing, but nothing is as soft and perfect for creating my Socktopi as Fairfield’s Poly-Fil. I would not buy anything else.”

Leah gives her Socktopi to low income families and shelter children. So far she has made over 500
