I have been so busy sewing lately, but even so, I decided I wanted to try to make a Christmas stocking.
Here is how I did it.
First of all I
drew the stocking on a piece of paper.
Just the size I was looking for.
Nothing fancy.
I then traced the stocking unto the canvas (with a pencil), leaving about 1/4" extra for the seam.
I then sew the 2 layers of canvas inside out.
Turn the fabric right side up.
You can now leave as is,
or add a writing/design of your choice.
I went with this,
and it looks super cute!
This would make a great personalized gift.
Stay Frugal,

Adorable! I'm doing new stockings from drop cloth this year, too. I like the long, skinny ones. :)

How fun! I made our stockings last year. This time I want to try to make a tree skirt.
Stockings from drop cloths. Very Cool!

Really cute stocking.
I am thinking that I need to dig in the attic for the burlap stockings I made years ago.
Very cute! We're hoping to make some this year, too.

What beautiful stockings.
Very cute! I made stockings out of burlap a couple of years ago, but I may try some out of regular fabric too!

It really turned out nice. I want to make stockings this year but I need to get my sewing machine serviced first....it's always something, isn't it? I can't wait to do some Christmas projects!
This is definitely a project I will take on this year. I am really excited to get started on some Christmas projects like this.
What a fun and simple idea! It turned out wonderful!
