more stockings! in addition to new stockings for myself and the mister, both of the girlies got new stockings this year too. and yes, i did make them both new stockings last year... but i ended up donating them to Hopeful Threads Stockings of Cheer last november, so we needed *new* new stockings. these things tend to happen around here...
K chose a fab Anna Maria print (from innocent crush) for her stocking. it's an all-time favorite of mine, so i'm happy to have it hanging on the mantel year after year. sometimes it feels good to use something you've been hoarding :) the accent fabrics are Bloomsbury Gardens by Liberty Lifestyle and New Leaf by Daisy Janie.
for both girls' stockings, i used a variation of this personalize stockings with felt tutorial. instead of using felt and fabric adhesive, i traced the letters in reverse on the paper side of Pellon 805 Wonder-Under®, fused it to the wrong side of fabric, and then cut out around drawn line. i machine stitched in the center of the letters after fusing the fabric to the stockings. both names are cut from Michael Miller's mirror ball dots collection, so they have a bit of a sheen to them.
B liked one of the falling flakes stockings i had already made up, so that was a win! fabrics all from Winterkist by Happy Zombie.
next, the tale of my stocking....
happy stitching!
