[...] Julie Finn wrote this for Crafting a Green World and she shows and explains just how to create these adorable stockings. Julie writes: Every Christmas Eve with my mom (you know about my mom, right?), she drags out these utterly godawful stockings for her grandbabies to use–quilted cotton with a printed image of teddy bears in bathrobes and slippers, bought sometime during the Reagan administration. From Wal-mart. On sale. Ugh. But how could I complain? I, who am obviously too cheap to pony up for non-teddy bear stockings for my own kids? All that will change this year. With four tacky wool sweaters and an easy-peasy stocking pattern, I sewed up a houseful of awesome, unique, sturdy and sophisticated stockings for the girls to…um, yeah, my mom? She always tells them to just set their stockings by the front door. So Santa can see them as soon as he walks in, you know? [...]

Hello Julie: Your Christmas Stocking idea is just great and I do appreciate the sewing instructions. I am a grandma that loves to recycle. I have accumulated a number of very pretty wool sweaters and want to make winter stocking hats for all the family. (they will probably all be agast) Have you tried your method with a stocking cap? Do you have a pattern for a hat? Thanks again for the tutorial. Keep creating. Sue

You’re welcome! And notice that I made FOUR stockings, not just two for my two kids. Cause I buy myself gifts and put them in my own stocking. Any excuse for consumerism, right?

Ugh, I had one of those stockings for myself until I was SEVENTEEN! And to think of my daughters having to use them, too–it was just too much.
