Every year I try and make something homemade for Christmas. This year we will spend Christmas with family out of town and with the hussle and bus of the holidays I decided to make something early so we could enjoy it through the season. I saw these here (a fellow adoptive mom blogger) and knew stockings were just the thing to make this year. I'm a sucker for polka dots.
As I was picking fabrics and drafting the pattern, I saw some green fur left over from Halloween and KNEW exactly the perfect stocking for Mike--a Grinch stocking.
If you don't know Mike, you might think this stocking is a total insult. But if you know him, you know he loves the real meaning of Christmas and not all the stuff--stockings included. I even included a little red heart, since I don't know many with a heart bigger than his. (He LOVES his by the way)Here's the rest of the crews' stockings. I put fur on mine too, but more like the Mrs. Clause kind. I think they turned out pretty good!
Hope you are enjoying the holidays! Gotta work on my Christmas cards!
