Yay! Let's go for a ride!

I couldn't help noticing these colorful cuties during my recent visit to a local craft bazaar. Greeted by the friendly booth owner, I took a closer look at these soft toys. Judging by the texture of fabric, I can tell these toys were actually made from socks. 

Chi Yin, the creator of Poco Handmade used to be less skillful in sewing. But due to the deep interest she has for socks toys, she was determined to pick up the needle and learn sewing all by herself. It was not easy to have nice stitches, so it took Chi Yin plenty of attempts and practices along with the tutorials from her mother to get closer to her dream.

Poco Handmade - Chi Yin's animal kingdom has been around for roughly a year. She was flipping through a magazine where she spotted handmade socks toys and fell in love with them immediately. "The toys are so cute and irresistible!", said Chi Yin. She went on searching for tutorials via the net but sadly not many useful information were found. Refused to give up, Chi Yin tried to make the toys based on her imagination.  Finally, the first socks toy was successfully sewn in August 2011. Soon after, she started selling her toys in the market.

There are several types of animals and characters found at Poco Handmade. Chi Yin accepts custom orders where customers request their toys to be made for certain occasions.
