This weekend, while digging around in one of my fabric drawers, I found Norah’s half-finished Christmas stocking from last year. Oops. With her being born in November, a lot of things I had planned to get done were abandoned.
Since I didn’t want Christmas to come and go without finishing it, I figured there is no time like the present, and I got busy. The patchwork portion was already finished, so it didn’t take much time to get the rest of it together. You can see the rest of our stockings here {wow…my photography skills have really come a long way in the last two years!}. However, Norah’s makes the rest look so dark…maybe new ones are in order, next year, of course.
Do you sew Christmas decorations? I haven’t made many, but getting this stocking done kind of has me itching to use a bit more Christmas fabric.

This is so cute!! I have not sewn any Christmas decorations but every year I promise myself that I’m going to make a tree skirt… maybe this year will be the year!

So cute. Better late then never
Adorable and I love the button detail. I made family Christmas stockings many long years ago and they have a folksy flair to them…unlike what I use now but these are special and I’ll keep them!

My favorite decorations are hand made, but i haven’t made any new ones in quite a while. However, this year we will have a new garland over our kitchen table. My dear husband has been working on it for a few days now and it is almost done. Can’t wait to hang it next week.

It’s nice to finish up unfinished projects and this is a cute one. I’m using the same fabrics for a Christmas tablecloth.

That is adorable! I used to sew decorations and things for the holidays but right now I’ll be lucky to get the tree up before Christmas! Ha ha! Our stockings are actually handmade, too. I have a sneaking suspicion that Elena doesn’t have one though….
I’ve made a few Christmas items over the years, mainly stockings for each of us and a tree skirt. Someday I want to make a Christmas quilt… but I’ll feel lucky if I can get the baby’s stocking finished in time for Christmas this year!

This stocking is adorable! I love the fresh but very festive colours you have used! I do enjoy making Christmassy things too
Have a happy day.
