Four Stockings


I made new stockings this year and it just hit me when they were hung that we're a family of four. I can't really express how warm and fuzzy this makes me feel. It took us a very long time to have our first little nugget and then we got another!!! This Christmas will be very special and full :)

Anyway, here's my four homemade stockings, I plan to eventually embroider names on them, but who knows when I'll get around to that. I basically made these like I would make a bag, sticking the lining inside, sewing the tops together and then rolling the cuff down. Very simple sewing.


I'm joining the great linky parties on my side bar...

  2. They're so cute, Jess. Each one is really pretty, but I think they are at their very best all together!

  8. I love these and thank you for describing the process as "like making a bag". That makes total sense to me!
