Stockings - part 3

Here is the last stocking I made - on Christmas Eve and completed on Christmas morning.

The toe part is stuffed to retain the shape. Both the toe and the cuff are upholstery samples. Once again, the main fabric is that gorgeous purple non wale corduroy. Too bad the colour just does not come through too good.

The recipient this time is my eldest son Mark. The making of these stockings all came about because I wanted to make him a grown-up stocking. He is 30 and for years he would not allow me to make him a new stocking. His original one was made by him in red felt and glued together with his name in glued-on glitter. He had a Santa face on it and he had made it all himself. It did not have a loop to hang it up with but a hole in the middle and this year, the felt ripped away, leaving shredded felt. These stockings will all be embelleshed eventually - with bells and probably more gold accents.
