making stockings!!!

so, i used to have a christmas stocking... but that's a whole 'nother story that is not discussed...

this year, i decided that i was going to make stockings for me and luke, and it would be special and crafty and fun!!!!

we were already headed to the 100 yen store to find $10 each worth of stocking stuffers to surprise each other with, and there we found some fun fabric and cool iron-ons for the stockings.

i am not a very experienced seamstress, but crafty luke knew what he was doing (of course!) and gave me instructions every step of the way. but, i did all of the labor on my own!!!!
making the pattern, cutting the fabric, sewing it all, making the hems, ironing on the patches.... all me!!

and here are the end results!!!

this one is luke's....  he loves chocolate, candy and donuts, of course, and tigers.... they're fierce!!! :)

and this one is mine... i love sunshine, donuts and candy, and lots of LOVE!!!

the fabrics are just the reverse of each other. and i added a border of fabric to make them thicker.... for more presents, of course!!! heehee

and here they are in the window.... sprockette's is the one on top, that jim and jackie got her. we need to get a little more fabric so i can finish hers, but she gets a family one too!!! :)

i am SO happy with the creations and SO happy that luke and i have our very own family stockings!!!
merry christmas, everyone!!!
