Crazy stockings

Yeah yeah I know exactly what you're thinking... A CHRISTMAS POST ALREADY?! 

I'm sorry I just can't help it! My sister and her boyfriend moved all the way to California last August and I needed to give them something from home. I knew it had to be something thoughtful, and that was homemade. I eventually came up with the idea to make stockings for them. She's putting herself through grad school so she doesn't have a ton of extra spending money, so I wanted her to have something beautiful for Christmas. 


How awesome are these? The best part is they can be made into any size you want, also the fabric you can use is endless! I went for a less elegant Christmas stocking by using more fun fabrics, rather then super fancy fabric. The inside of the stocking is completely lined as well, and the back is a solid piece of fabric, but I could have also quilted the back as well.  These took about an hour to put together, super quick! There was even time to make her dog a little stocking, although that was a little tough since it is so small. I also embroidered the cuff myself as well. 

Once again if you have any questions, or would like your own quilted stocking message, comment, or shoot me an email! 

Happy Crafting and until next time!
