My favorite Christmas stocking look
I just adore this Victorian stocking look. And all in all, even without an official pattern, as long as you have a good striped or oxford type fabric, you would have yourself an adorable look.
Any well stocked fabric store will have the goods you need to make self fabric buttons. They sell them in a little package right in with the rest of the buttons. They are very easy to put together. And if you do not wish to use actual buttons, you could just create a little knob of fabric and sew it in place as a button.
Either way, this is a beautiful Christmas stocking, and another one of those that I just did not want to pay the ninety five dollar price tag that was attached. Ninety five. I am sorry. No way. I can create my own for so much less than that!
But I already started pulling out the stocking collection and goodness. Adding more will be a challenge, but I am up to it. I know it is silly, but it is something I can sew myself, and it makes me happy to make more. It is something inexpensive and if I keep scraps from old projects, pretty much free. Making stockings is a joy really. And it is a fantastic way to always have an extra handmade gift on hand to fill with baked goods for that surprise guest that knocks on the door.
