Tayva informed me of her cute stockings her mother made for the whole fam, and that she was going to make one herself (for her future husband and children? hehe). I'M IN!!!!!
I'm really not much of a sewer. sure, I can sew a straight line, and I've made pajama pants here and there... but other than that? yeah, not much. But I felt adventurous (and didn't want to spend $15+ for a good CUTE per stocking at Target etc.)...
I bought the double-quilted fabric at JoAnns: one side = snowflakes, other side = candy cane stripes
ON SALE for $12.00 per yard. Only needed 1 yd. for making 2 stockings! :)
So Tayva's mother made her stockings without a pattern. without a pattern. WITHOUT A PATTERN.
so we made ours... you got it... without a pattern.
It was so much fun!... but SO much work! took me... hmm... hours. But it's done~
Our friend Tami Larsen stitched the names on our stockings! Aren't they cute? Ask me how big her stitching machine is. go on. "mmmhmmm... yes, well, her machine is as big as a refrigerator!"
there you go.
cute stockings nat! But that doesn't really surprise me. Anything that is craft related that you turn your hand to, automatically turns out. You're probably a good witch like Sophie and you can talk life into things or something.
ReplyDeleteahem, anyhow. I was going to make stockings...but it might just have to wait til next year. Too much going on now with the wedding, and we won't even be at home for christmas! I wanted to make some but it will be better next year when I'm not trying to put a wedding together. =P
Wow, you talented missy! I wish I had the patience to make something like this. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteMy two-year-old little boy looked at these pictures and said, "CUTE!" Very nice Natalee!
