For my birthday I received a sewing machine. For being woken up in the middle of the night while my husband was on call for work I got a gift certificate to Hobby Lobby. In years past my family has used dollar store stockings with puffy paint names. Add these three facts together and you get motivation for a Christmas project that I started right after Thanksgiving. Personalized stockings!
I started with tracing letters on cross-stitch material
then actually cross stitching the names on
After reading a lot of tutorials, I used an old stocking for a pattern, tried to get creative and went crazy sewing. the bulk of the work was yesterday morning.
I am really happy with the way our stockings turned out. and I got extra material for any more kids we might have :)
next step, hanging them up on the wall and then stuffing them full of goodies :)
