I made a few mini Christmas stockings for either gifts or decorations. I have to confess that these started a little gifts for friends but I couldn't part with them ; (
The main body is made from contrasting felt, machine stitched then hand-stitched with blanket stittch. The snowflake and holly decoration are felt with a variety of beads and buttons for added texture and interest.
The little reindeer motifs are from Paperchase (I bought them last year but they still do them - find them
here) and I simply added these with a hidden stitch or two to finish them off. The loop is made with a length of felt secured with a large button.
I am looking forward to finding some small sewing related gifts from Santa inside these babies on the 25th December!
Have you made anything festive for Christmas this year?
Oh, these are so cute! So festive!
