The main characters of the short-film series Shammies<\/i> \u2013 Sockie, Hankie, Mitten and Pillow \u2013 live in a textile house where they learn about the world around them while under the watchful eye of Mr. Cat. The Shammies\u2019 tireless imagination and exciting adventures are brought to life as an animated collage made from pieces of fabric, buttons, ribbons and lace. \u2018These are wonderful toys, and it is even more interesting to play with them than with fancy dolls. The properties of things allow you to imagine their personalities, and then the story begins. This is how small children play, as do we, the creators of Shammies<\/i>,\u2019 says writer Inese Zandere.<\/p>\n
