stockings- how to

I was tired of our stockings that we have used since...

2005?!?!?!?!

and i had to make a new one for Hans anyway.

I also wanted to decorate my tree in a semi-theme

this year... mustard yellow... so i got to work.

i think for all 4 stockings it cost:

2 yards burlap: $6

trim: maybe $8-10?

_________________

4 buackroos for each stocking!!!!

plus i had leftover burlap to wrap with...

step 1

use martha stewart in all her glory

and print off a stocking from her many to choose from

trace onto burlap with sharpie

cut out

step 2

don't be an idiot like me

and forget about seam allowences...

step 3

sew the sides together... leave top open

then make a little hem on the top and sew that

there it is :)



step 4

lay out your trim
i only had the trim on the front cuz i'm cheap like that
pin it on
then sew it on
for the loop holder dealy, i just sewed a small piece of ribbon to the top

i was too lazy to change colors of thread, but you can :)

i didn't put names on them

i feel like it gives them a classier, pottery barn/anthro look.

but you could definately add names.

there you have it folks, $4 stockings

(could be way cheaper if you use different trim, or are making less)
