Hand made Stocking


I decided to make a pair of funky Christmas stocking for John and I, so I gathered some fabric, trim, and ribbons. For my inspiration I used the MacKenzie-Childs catalog (of course!!).

And this is how the first one turned out:

Off to complete the second one!

    Found you at BNOP. I love Mackenzie Childs and your knock-off looks like the real deal to me! Very pretty.

    Patti, You are so right about the Anthropologie Snow Globes! I definitely can't imagine buying them at that price! And I think they turned out great with my home spun touches!!! I'm so glad you stopped by because I've absolutely LOVED my visit here!!! These stockings are INCREDIBLE! I'm your newest follower and look forward to many more visits of inspiration at your place!!!

    Patti, Dear Dear Patti, where did you find the black and white check wired ribbon? At least that's what it looks like in the picture. I have been looking all over because this year I am decorating Christmas in MC style and vintage. Please help. Oh, and your stocking is to die for.

    Great job! I think knock offs are so much more satisfying than the real thing.

    Absolutely gorgeous. These are so luxurious. It'll be so nice for you to see it (them) hanging each Christmas. Great job!

    OMG! I am drooling here, Patti! That turned out fabulous! I want to see the other one, too. Did you make a pattern for the foot part? What a fun project for the fabric scrap stash and the bits of trim left over from other projects.
