I’ve momentarily put down my paint and paintbrushes and hauled out the old sewing machine. Although I don’t sew often, this project turned out to be a really fun one.

I’ve been wanting to make burlap Christmas stockings ever since I saw them for the first time last year.

After a few trials and errors, this is what they ended up like:

The fronts are burlap (obviously!) and the backs and cuffs are cream-coloured cotton. The “girl” ones have tattered fabric flowers {oh, so fun to make!},

and the “boy” ones have pleats and buttons.

Each one is a little different…

…but all of them have a bit of light aqua blue on them…

Now that the sewing machine is all warmed up, I’ll have to get busy on some more things!
