Stephen's Christmas Stocking
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Toy

For: Boys

Style: Retro / Vintage, Cute, Funky, Holiday, Whimsical


Materials

Christmas fabric, fur

What was your inspiration?

I had made my two daughter's felt Christmas Stockings when they were little as my aunt had been in Amercia and brought me back packs to make them. As I could not get one for my son I bought him a ready-made one, he has always teased me that he was treated differently! So now I have finally made him one!

What are you most proud of?

I finally made my son Stephen a Christmas Stocking after year's of him complaining of only having bought ones!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I used the Crafsty March BOM - string block method which was easy and quick to do!

Love the story! Everything comes to he who waits (even if it has to be 20-odd years!). Love the icicles round the top too!

Haha... I have taught Steve patience ;) The fur was from an old shawl that my daughter Louise used for her 21st fancy dressy party as the Ice Queen (it's good to hold onto things)

Really cute stocking & the fur that you accented it with, really, just tops it off. Was he surprised? Thank you for sharing. :-)
