Christmas In July


I finished Sophia's Christmas stocking months ago. It's been hanging in my sewing room waiting for me to snap a picture and put it away. Obviously, I'm a procrastinator. (Just ignore the fact that I took these photos at night in bad light.)


Um, you should also ignore the uneven stitches. It adds to the handmade look, right?



This is what's on the back:



Now, I just need to get to work on Levi's stocking. You would think I'd have done that already, but then again you know I'm a procrastinator.

    Beautiful!!! Nanno is right... perfect! And such a special gift to give to Sophia!
    I am so envious of people that are good with their hands (and are so creative) yet... I never actually get myself to try and do something.

    I absolutely love it and know she will treasure that forever. When I saw it I immediately thought "what a perfect gift for your child".

    Beautiful! And I agree - I see no uneven stitches - just a stocking that Sophia will treasure forever. I still have the one my grandma made me. Homemade stockings are a MUST.

    You are NO procrastinator! It's July for goodness sake! My eldest scored her first Mama-made stocking for her um, tenth Christmas. (yikes). (procrastinator).

    My homemade stockings didn't get done until my boys were like 5 and 9. You are waaaay ahead of the game, in my opinion. It looks fabulous!
