Keepsake Christmas Stockings

I’ve been busy making Christmas stockings in between Christmas shopping and watching my grandsons.    The stockings are made  from sweaters and blouses that were my Mom’s.

I love this stocking with the lace front.  It was made from a pale blue blouse.  I can remember my Mom wearing that blouse.  

The next two stockings were made from sweaters of hers.  On the one below, I centered  the stocking template so that the collar and zipper are part of the stocking.

And this one, I placed the stocking template on the sweater so that the buttons were centered on the stocking.

While I was making these keepsake stockings, I shed  many tears just knowing that this will be my first Christmas without either one of my parents.    I’m sure that these stockings will be a part of many Christmas’ to come within my family. 

Blessings,

Gail
