I haven't actually completed this item, but wanted to share with you that I have started it. Now that I have a child, it is critical (in my mind) that I make homemade stockings for our whole family. I'm not sure why I feel so strongly about it, but I do. I want her stocking to be something special that she will have her entire childhood. Therefore, I have to get it done. I don't want to confess to her later in life that she didn't have her special stocking until her 2nd Christmas. I just can't live with that guilt.
I am struggling, though. I just can't decide what I want to do for her. If you have any amazing suggestions, let me know.
In the meantime, I'm working on Landon's. He picked out the above fabrics. And this is what we are going to do.
Pretty, huh? He wants the front of the stocking to be a patchwork. He did most of the cutting, I just helped a little, and he came up with the design he wanted. Now it is up to me to do the sewing. I think he did a great job with the picking and arranging. I am tempted to make a similar Christmas table-runner with the extra fabric since it is so pretty, but I can't get distracted with other projects until I finish my baby girl's stocking.
