    Turn the sock with the heel part upwards. Gather the part where the heel is, pin it and hand stitch it.

    Add a decorative button at the place you gathered the sock. Take some lace or ribbon to add to the edge.

    This is important! You have to insert a tailor's ham inside before you stitch the lace. If you don't have a tailor's ham insert another pair of socks or a small pillow. Something that will expand the sock. Then (hand) stitch the lace.
