I finished the "Waiting for Santa" stocking just in time for Old St. Nick to fill it.
I spent part of Saturday choosing the lining fabric and then assembling the stocking. I had two fabrics in mind for the lining, but the other fabric piece wasn't large enough so this is the one I chose. It is covered with gingerbread men and peppermints.
I sewed all the pieces together and then just had to slip stitch a small opening in the lining fabric near the heal.
I am so pleased with how the stocking turned out. Another finish for 2023!
Ta-da!
I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching on Christmas Eve! Pop on over to her blog and see what other bloggers are stitching.
A Merry Christmas Eve to everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
