Finished stockings

I made some stockings last year, and I had another friend that was interested, so I made her some.

I did these differently, I used 2.5" squares.  Since I made my Jacobs ladder quilt last fall I have had a lot of 2.5" squares, So I chose to do 2.5" squares for this (not as much cutting!)  I am just SO in love with these! now I just need to make some for my husband & me.

Stockings

I have a friend who asked me to make stockings for her family.

Here is all five of them.

 This is the mom's stocking.  She likes purple, so I made sure hers had lots of purple!

This is the little girls stocking.

This is the little boys stocking.

this is the dads stocking.

And this is the oldest boys stocking.

Stocking test run

I had a friend who asked me to make stockings for her family, I also wanted to make some for my husband and I.  so I decided to use some scraps around the house to make up a mock one, just to decide how I was going to put it together, and this is what I came up with:

I tweaked the shape a little bit for my next one.  But I am excited to make them for my husband and myself! His shall have colts fabric, and mine shall have lots of purple. 

I think the only thing I would do differently from this one, is to try a French seam on it, because I had to do a seam on the outside just to make sure it would stay together (the inside wouldn't "come out").
