Striped Christmas Stockings

happy monday! yep, its THE LAST monday before christmas. yikes. {cue: panic attack. ugh} but i did check on more project off my list for christmas this year….i finally made Christmas Stockings! {yes, that was what was missing from our Christmas mantel} as in, this has been on the list for years, but every christmas seems to come and go and i never get them done. well, i was determined to not let it happen again this year. i was tired of the mismatch, ugly store bought ones we have.

so check out our spiffy new *Striped Christmas Stockings!*

christmas stockings

you may notice there are only 2 stockings….and there are 4 in our family. yup, i still have 2 more stockings to sew this week. but hey, i got the 2 most important stockings done for our little guys. {if there’s no stockings for santa to leave davis and i lumps of coal, meh. ;}

diy christmas stockings

i think the stripes are perfect for christmas! love them.

green stripe fabric

i found this home decor fabric at ikea last summer for another project {will be posting on it soon, so stay tuned!} i had quite a bit left over so this was the perfect use for the scraps. and i loved the heavier fabric for the stockings. makes them sturdy and hold their shape very nicely.
