I love them! Really sweet applique's ('specially the little cat). Very inspired choice using the denim....very cool. I am sure these will be treasured. Thanks for sharing with us.

Lord, I know the feeling! Same thing happened to me! Big family...but I finally got all my done now too. Glad that is behind me. Had to make 2 more this year for new grand daughters. The fun thing about stockings is, it shows how your family has grown over the years. When we go to our parents we remember, when there were only 7 stockings. 5 for us kids and on for mom and dad each. Now....there have been mates to all 5 kids added. 16 for grandchildren and 9 for their great grandchildren. The living room looks plum full of stockings.lol

Wow! You have done a great job on the stockings plus doing a recycle job. Maybe you used the top part of the blue jeans for handbags???

I love your ideas. Bet noone they know has anything like them. great job!

oksewglad 12-07-2011 01:30 PM

Glad everyone likes these! My pattern calls for placing the back side of the leg on the fold--I tried to use the seams of the jeans as the fold. I like the look the flat felled seam makes. I made my lining piece 4" longer at the top for the cuff to fold over. Sewed the stocking and lining as one with a 4" slit for turning on the lining part.
There are two more, but they are in NC with my S and DIL where the snow angel and little boy with the star for the tree are headed.

Really cute stockings! Neat idea with the denim! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Redrover0628 12-07-2011 02:09 PM

This is a really great idea to use the denim. I have the Debbie Mumm patterns these were made from also. The first class I ever took at a quilt shop was making a Christmas stocking using this pattern. Still one of my favorites! So cute!

Mazda 12-07-2011 02:30 PM

Those are cute!

Sewfine 12-07-2011 02:35 PM
