this year I decided to make our stockings. I found some wool for $3.99 and just couldn't pass it up. I also bought some awesome houndstooth for a blanket! so excited.
for david's stocking, I embroided his initial in a light gray and created the top border out of some leftover fabric pieces from a quilt I made years ago (for an old boyfriend - don't tell!). the lining is a tan plaid.
my stocking has a pretty silky red lining and a similar border.
I embroided my initial in an olive green though you can't see it very well in the picture. I think they both turned out
mighty fine.
Those are beautiful! Makes me want to make something christmasy.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, Lizzy!
ReplyDeleteAnd that you made them yourself makes them even more special.
They're beautiful!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHandmade stockings are so special - my parents still give me little things in my stocking every year...it was handknit for me the year I was born, and it is the best thing ever. :)
They look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHope you are starting to feel better!
The stockings turned out PERFECT. I just got an early Christmas present yesterday. A new sewing machine. I was so excited I made a pillow right away. You can look at it here www.themaisyreport.blogspot.com Please remember I don't really know how to sew. Would love to know what you think!!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!!! Can't believe you did that after being sick, sick sick. I'm impressed! I love them. They are very cute.
ReplyDeleteBy the way the minted website has some really cute stuff. A bit pricy though. I won a giveaway from the Hostess With the Mostess website. It was from Paper Shouts! They have some really cute stuff.
Hope your feeling better. At least you have warm sunshine. We expect a high of 26 here in the Ann Arbor area.
The wool is beautiful!!! Great job!!!
