LITTLE MAKES

With two new grandsons in the past three months, I realized that I needed to make two more stockings before the big day.  So.........avoiding everything on my design wall, I did just that.
I went to my go to stocking pattern by Imagine Gnats.  I made mine a bit smaller tho


After piecing the feathers for this baby's quilt, I had oodles of fabric left over so I made his stocking from that.


The little bug bias tape was perfect for the hang tab.  Nothing girlie about THIS stocking


and just look at this backing.  I found this on my travels and new it would come in handy for one of my axe wielding, plaid flannel wearing boys!  I wish I would have bought more. Why didn't I buy more ???

I did the same thing for the other baby's stocking.


These are all Art Gallery fabrics except for the backing.  It is a Dear Stella print


details : )


both of the stockings have polka dot lining----for the win


and as if on cue, it snowed.  May as well roll with the punches and use it for a photo op : )

Thanks for stopping by

    Adorable!!! My DIL asked for stockings for them and the children (5 total) for Christmas this year, so I've got a few of those coming up in my future too.

    Very cute. A first Christmas is a special event, and these stockings will be adored for years to come. I love the snow picture - I've never seen snow in real life.

    Cute stockings. I need some of that owl fabric. I just got an owl mug, now I need to make a mug rug for it. I'll have to keep my eyes open for some.

    Axe weilding and plaid flannel make me think of the lumberjack song!
    I imagine that your house has one of the best displays of Christmas stockings of anyone in the neighbourhood, maybe even the whole province!

    So fabulous. All my daughters-in-law said they had the stockings covered, so I don't get to make any! But it's fun to see your renditions. I love all your fabric choices--they'll be loved forever!

    Love the look of your stockings. Especially the animals peeking out here and there. I can hardly believe that with all the sewing I've done over the years I haven't made my own kids stockings and now they're all grown up. Maybe this year.
