Snowflake Christmas stocking
I have said it before and I know I am going to say it again. I am still obsessed with felt fabric. I am hoping that at some point, this obsession will end and I can move on to working with another fabric. I suppose it is just as well because my last fabric obsession was chiffon and silk. Let me tell you - that was like sewing spiderwebs.
This Christmas stocking is a breeze when cut and sewn from felt fabric. The snowflakes can be cut in any design that you remember from your childhood (and who did not make eleventy thousand paper snowflakes over their elementary days?).
Although I would prefer to stitch the resulting snowflakes onto the stocking before you sew the two halves together, it would be just as easy to attach the snowflakes with stitch witchery if you are not into sewing.
The edge of the stocking is reinforced with a gorgeous blanket stitch, but if you are not comfortable with using an embroidery stitch like that (remember that you can check the reference websites in my sidebar for both picture and video instructions on embroidery stitches), you can just sew the two sides of your stocking together and be done with it. The Christmas stocking would still be perfectly adorable.
I really love the snowflake motif here. Living in drought stricken Georgia state, the thought of snow is so far away from possible that it is actually hard for me to even decorate with snow during the holiday season. Someday. Someday I will have snow during the Christmas season. It snowed during Christmas when I lived in London and when I lived in Germany. Perfect Christmases, both. Just picture perfect.
