i decided on a whim to sew up some christmas stockings. we only had 3 of the classic red and white fuzzy stockings (1 of them being a bit smaller than the others) and since we have 4 kiddos we needed to revamp things a little. originally i envisioned using felt however i had a remnant of white cotton and decided to "use what i have" and came up with these ruffly stockings.
