New Stocking Design

I just finished making stockings for my family and they were just too cute not to share.


A bit oversized at 22” tall, this stocking features a three tiered ruffle top of alternating layers of linen and muslin. Of course my daughter wanted me to make one for her in pink!


Last year you may remember I created four different stocking designs out of ivory burlap for my Christmas mantel.


This year I decided to go with four stockings of the same design.


I picked up my Christmas wreaths today and will post pictures of my completed mantel in the next week or so. Yes, I am still working on my Salvation Army furniture find as well as finishing up the curtains for my living room! Things have been a bit crazy but I will have lots of finished projects to share soon.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these stockings they can be found in my Etsy store.

Beautiful... both the new ones and last year's as well! Those are what I had envisioned for my Christmas stockings this year... neutral... burlap or linen... ruffles... Love it!

Very pretty! I love the ruffles and the simplicity of your lovely stocking, but then I adored the variety of last year's stockings too.

Everytimne I visit your blog I swoon when I see photos of your fireplace - the stone and the white wood - Love it. The stockings you made are the perfect contrast against the stone - plus they are so pretty.

Thank you for sharing - they are super cute! I love the ruffles, but I'm not sure my hubby would!

Cute! I am working on my first home-made no sew stockings this year! Great job!

Holly Lefevre said...

LOVE this...I was thinking we need new stockings this year (just me and hubby - the kids won't part with theirs).

Oh, I love ALL of the stockings! Somehow, though, stockings are the one thing that always stays the same at our house. Trees change colors and themes, but stockings -- well, I make a new one for each family member, and they have it "forever." I don't think my family would agree to new stockings...
