A Christmas stocking

At our last meeting our Monday Modern group decided that we would make Christmas stockings to donate to  Women's Refuge. I have finished my stocking - just need to get to the shops and fill it with some nice bits and pieces to hopefully bring someone a light moment this Christmas.

I  haven't made a Christmas stocking before so it was a bit of a make-it-up-as-you-go kind of project. It didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned, but I think it looks quite cheerful.

  2. Looks pretty stocking-y to me! Must get on to mine! Was there a particular size to aim for? Do we bring them filled?

  5. Last year I decided (like two weeks before Christmas) to make stockings for everyone in my family. It was insane. I love the idea of donating stockings to charity. What a perfect way to make someone smile. Totally in the holiday spirit.
