Christmas Stockings

So I am not the best seamstress at all, but the past few years we have needed Christmas Stockings and I just couldn't find ones I liked for cheap enough.  We've had these $1.00 stockings with our names puffy painted on by yours truly for tooooo long.  So when I saw this challenge on UCreate, I thought, hey why not give it a shot?  I'm so very proud of myself, here's how they turned out:



I just followed this tutorial pretty much, except I didn't do it quite so "scrappy" and just went straight across.  I used red velvet for the back and the top, then I used a freezer paper stencil to put the names on.  I also added little jingle bells across the top.  They aren't perfect, but I like them!

So cute! I've always wanted to make our stockings, because my mom made all of ours when I was a kid. But I'm too lazy. Hey, would you call me??? Please!! 702-234-0852
