Back to stitchy matters! As you may or may not remember, I’ve been busy working on a Christmas stocking for my dad for the past year. I started it back in November 2015, and I put the final stitches in about a month ago. But, like always, I was really worried about my ability to sew it up nicely, so it has been sitting in my craft room for several weeks. Christmas waits for no man, though.
All Hearts Come Home Stocking, designed by Dimensions
The design is All Hearts Come Home Stocking from Dimensions. It is a kit, and I used all the included materials. The biggest change I made was to leave the wording off. (You can see how it should look here.) I also added a lining to it (the instructions in the kit do not include adding a lining). It is backed with the felt included in the kit.
The Stockings Were Hung…
So far I’ve completed three stockings: one for my mom, one for my dad, and one for the little man. (It does have his name on it, I’ve just removed it for this picture.) I’ve still got two more to go, although I haven’t decided if I will stitch one next year or take a year off.

Wonderful stitching. Your stockings looks great! And you’ve got amazing Christmas tree!
Great choice not to stitch the words on the stocking – I think it takes away – not adds to. One of my goals for 2017 is to stitch a stocking
Heather: Lovely stocking, I am liking it better without the words, it seems more inviting, beautiful stocking all around and hung on the mantel, such a lovely site.
Your tree is beautiful.
Merry Christmas

They are all wonderful works of art. Full of love. Stunning.
That’s a very festive looking mantlepiece!
The stocking looks wonderful and as usual you did a wonderful job.
Oh it turned out perfect. Great job!!
The stockings look wonderful all made up and displayed, beautiful finishing.
Lucky they have short names. My Mum ordered machine-stitched ones for my boys and had to get special permssion for my younger son’s very long name!
Wspaniałe skarpety i choinka!!!
Волшебно!
