New Christmas Stockings

I really had my heart set on the new Ikea Christmas stockings this year. I loved the white ones with the snowflakes...so cute. However, my local Ikea apparently wasn't carrying any stockings this year. Bah humbug. 


So, I just made some with some old curtain fabric I had in the linen closet, and I LOVE them!





I'm not into sewing at all, I only do it when I absolutely have to, but I used this video series and it was seriously easy. And, it doesn't look like a cheapo homemade stocking. I was pretty worried about unfinished edges being on the inside and the whole thing feeling thin and flimsy...but thanks to the lining in this video the whole thing looks perfect. And perfection makes me happy.





Happy sewing!
