Stockings To Hang With Care

Stockings

Look how early I am for Christmas!!! It is just the beginning of November and I have already finished the stockings and they are ready to go! Okay, not really…remember this from way back in 2007? Yep, 2 years in the making! These are some incredible stockings…I mean 2 years to make them…you should see the quality! Okay, not really either, they where shoved in the bottom of a basket for 2 years! I had to iron them before I could even sew them! You all know how badly I detest ironing so they were pretty wrinkly! I am excited to have the stockings all finished up. They were really fun to make and even have lining! I borrowed the shape of the stocking from here (check out how many different shapes they have) and then had fun creating on the rest.There is still time for you to make stockings this year as well…or at least start them!

Update: Since the previous stocking post in 2007 Sister has claimed the snowmen and Brother has made claim on the reindeer! Just in case you were wondering and all! ;)

A New Fascination

ballerina doll

So, recently a friend passed along a fabric panel (you know a big panel of fabric with printed items on it that you just need to cut and sew) to me that she could not use. From the moment that she handed it to me I knew that I had found a new love. It is so simplistic! Some of you out there may think that I am off my rocker, but I love these things! Since I was given the ballerina I have been scouring Ebay and Etsy for fun fabric panels. I came across a monkey (he even has little clothes) for brother for Christmas and Sister will receive the ballerina. I have a few more hopefully in the mail and on their way to me also so stay tuned!
