Not sure if this is the right place to put these, but here we go.
Two Christmas stockings out of eight finished, and three dress covers cut out and started. Not a bad weekends work considering it had to be fitted in between hospital scans, fabric shop, and general weekend chores.
So, here goes, my first Christmas Stockings of 2019. One is to be raffled, the other is to go to DD's friend.

They are lovely, far better than I've seen and I've been looking, I bought one for DH this year. He was such an ungrateful beggar last year with his Christmas presents that this year I'm just filling a stocking for him of cheap (ish) and cheerful.
Mine was £6.99 with barely any decoration other than his name embroidered on. I think yours would be more a Harrods price.

@b15erk , those are delightful! Splendiferous! Marvelous! The recipient's should be delighted. I know I would be! :toast:

Above and beyond @b15erk ... Did you use up all of your stash ???
-
@Iminei - not quite all! :D The decoration takes surprisingly little fabric, but the rest is quite fabric hungry. It's the embellishment which takes the time, and sewing all the elements together whilst trying to avoid sewing over stray beads, and hotfix gems!

Goodness Jessie, you don't make things easy for yourself do you! They wouldn't have got curly toes if I'd been making them. They are lovely.

Gorgeous!!! 0_0 They'll have to have a banana in the toes rather than a satsuma.
I love that bobbly trim but have never managed to think of an appropriate place to put it - it's perfect on your stockings. :D
