christmas sewing

Sewing christmas stockings for the two new grandbabies. One is Sadie who was born in March and one for William who just doesn't want to be born! I have made one for all my kids and their spouses and the 7 grandkids and for a good friend of ds's.

I could not find any velvet for the name part of the stockings. I went to a quilt shop and she had no velvet at all- she said try the salvation army and get a dress and I would have plenty of velvet. So I went across the street and there was one velvet dress hanging right in front. It was the only velvet article of clothing in the whole store and it was black!!! I was so lucky.
