My Christmas Make - Stockings!

This year for Christmas I didn’t sew any Christmas gifts, but I did make something for my growing family. A beautiful set of Christmas stockings! I used the pattern from Frux Studio, which was so lovely to sew up. She based her design off of medieval fairy-tale villages in the Alsace region of France, and they really are so charming. I stitched our names onto the stockings using chain stitch. One for my husband, one for me, one for our baby Josey, and I even made one for our pup!

The base fabric I used was a cotton herringbone coutil I had in my stash, but any heavyweight fabric or canvas would work. I have plenty left over if we ever need to add another stocking for another babe or furry friend. And for the contrast fabric I chose some scraps from my pile of naturally dyed linens. The linings are also random fabrics from my stash that co-ordinated well enough. This was a great project to use up fabrics and thread that I already had. I highly recommend this pattern if you are looking to sew up a set of stockings for your family. Merry Christmas!
