Daily December Pattern's Day 2!
Walk through the Christmas/Holiday section of any store and you'll find a huge selection of stockings. But have you ever wanted to have your own personalized stocking? They are easy to make, especially when you have a good pattern and instructions. Add names, monograms, or your favorite character and you'll have a stocking to use for many years to come!
When it was time to add stockings for my girls, I couldn't find anything that matched my and my husbands stockings. Styles, and manufacturers, had changed greatly over the one or two years between purchases! And I wanted stockings that my girls would love, because they were mama made and no one else had one like theirs. I searched Pinterest for stocking patterns and tutorials and, after a couple weeks of searching, finally settled on this pattern. I wanted something simple, no heel or toe patches, a wide cuff. And big.
The pattern I found was very easy. I had all of these sewn up in about 2 hours, including toddler interruptions, and although there are some imperfections, they are ours! I didn't follow the pattern to a "T" though... I didn't use batting since I didn't have any on hand and I didn't have time to run to the store for that one item. My stockings ended up being floppy because of this, which I don't mind, but if you want them to hold their shape when they're hanging with nothing in them then make sure you use the batting!
