Lucy's stocking last year was a cute pink "Baby's 1st Christmas 2010" stocking given to her by her Grand-dad, but this year I wanted to make her a unique stocking that had more of a Christmas feel. I have been making things with old wool sweaters this season and had quite a few scraps left, and thought that would make a cozy, festive wool stocking! I traced a stocking shape from one of ours that I like the shape of. Then I cut the paper stocking into shapes for a pattern and left about a 1/2 inch around all sides for a seam allowance. The whole process of making the pattern and sewing it together took less than an hour and was very easy. I love how it turned out and it looked even better full of presents!Friday, December 30, 2011
