...and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

I did it! I finished our Christmas stockings today! I took pictures throughout the whole process so you can see how they were put together. I love it that I used the same pattern that my mom used to make our stockings when we were kids!

I found a bunch of different christmas (and a little camo) material. Some of it was leftovers I had, some I just went and bought 1/4 of a yard of fabric (it cost like 60 cents), and most of it was actually remnant pieces you can find at fabric stores. (I love those because the are SO cheap!!!)

I cut most of the material into little squares. (I kept all the leftovers... you'll see why later.)


Honestly... the hardest part of the whole process (and the most fun) was laying out the pieces so that no two patterns were touching. (And even that wasn't too difficult since I has a lot of different patters!)

After I got all the sqares sewn together I laid it out on the floor and put the pattern over it... cut the pattern out and... wall-a!!! Was done with one of the fronts!

This is where I used the left-overs of the fabric. I decided, instead of using one solid piece on the back of the stocking, (or patchworking ANOTHER side) I would jsut sew the left-overs together to make the back.

The finished product.....

They turned out alright I think! (Oh, screw it.... I FREAKING LOVE THEM!)
