Ok so like good little students my flatmates and I have entered into the christmas spirit with the time-honoured, empty wallet tradition of the Secret Santa.

Now admittedly the limit is only a measly £5 BUT, I am A PROPER student, by which I mean a massive, massive cheap skate. So, with this in mind I sat down last night (at some god awful hour) and made my poor, unsuspecting flatmate her sorry excuse for a festive gift.

She is, by all intents and purposes, a massive comic book nerd (and way better at it than me) so this was pretty much the starting point for this absurd creature…

Yes. It’s a Zebra who is a super hero. And it’s made of socks. Because let’s face it, what’s worse than getting socks at Christmas?

Getting stuffed socks you can’t wear THAT’S what!

He’s made from 2 trainer socks from H&M and is based on a similar (but less bizarre) sock zebra by Daniel Liao (found in the book Stray Sock Sewing.)  I had to adapt the design as I didn’t have the correct type of socks…and mine is a super hero obviously.

And yes, I actually did make a tiny Zebra Super Hero comic book for him to read…because I’m cool.

Well it’s the thought right?

I’m sorry Holly, you didn’t deserve to live with me…

Merry Christmas everybody!
