The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
Tomorrow marks our third Christmas together but the first one where we actually have stockings hanging on our mantle. 🙂 I was stubborn and decided two years ago that sewing Christmas stockings was going to be a part of our family traditions so here they are. With having a baby and moving last year I didn’t have time to make them. (Although if I had realized how simple they would be I might have tried.) 🙂

Eli's Stocking. I think it's the cutest.
Truly there is much joy in our home. We are so blessed.
Eli was so excited about his stocking he couldn't hide it!
Notes: I used Simplicity 4842 view A to make each of the stockings. They are all 14″ which is plenty big enough. I did not add any of the fancy trim that the pattern calls for as I like the look of simple stockings better. The pattern was great to use and also includes instructions for 2 different tree skirts and sewing reusable gift bags. Now I just can’t wait till Christmas!

Love it! You can make miniature versions of these as ornaments for you tree or to attach to garland for decorations.
I hadn’t thought about making a minature version that’s a good idea. Hmmm.
