Last week (before my kids got sick and the sewing halted for a few days), I decided to sew a couple of stockings. Of course my first instinct was to use some Anna Maria Horner or Amy Butler, but as these were stockings for my kids, I decided to stop being selfish and make them character stockings.
The pattern I used was the I {heart} Pellon Stocking, which is a free pattern available on the Pellon site. I slightly modified it, and used a quilt-as-you-go method (similar to what Elizabeth Hartman wrote about on her blog when she made the Weekender Bag). Instead of Thermolam, I used Pellon 100% Natural cotton batting, which can be easily found at Joann’s (and I heard that they are doing another special on bolts of it this month, if you missed the pre-Thanksgiving doorbuster, wink wink). It is completely my favorite batting.
I utterly love how the super hero stocking came out; I think it’s pretty amazing, if I say so myself. I like the Hello Kitty one too, but I don’t feel the fabrics are as cohesive (I let them pick out their own). But that’s okay. The important thing is that they chose some special things that they liked!
All-in-all, the pattern was incredibly easy to follow, and I liked how the exterior and lining were sewn together at the end. Very easy! And the most important thing is that the kids are happy. 🙂
Cute stockings. I may have two make two adult versions for my husband and I.
The stockings look awesome! My son would loooove the superhero one. Did you get the fabric at Joann’s too? Nice work with all of them! 🙂
They are awesome! Love the super hero one as well.
Happy kids, happy mummy!
Lol, did you make yourself one too? I see you as Super Woman ;o)
I guess this cool super heroes stocking might be gift itself for my comics-addicted son:)
Really cute stockings. They will be favorites for a long time.
Hope they are feeling better.
I love these stockings! I need to make a few to hang on our mantel myself… do I dare let the girlies choose their own fabrics? 😉
