Katelyn posted on her blog the stockings she made for Christmas so of course I had to do it too! It was so fun, quick and easy that I'm sad I can't make millions of them all the time. Turns out there is such a thing as too many Christmas stockings. But with the extra material I'm going to make some baby stockings for my little Sunbeams. I love them so much!! (The stockings, all though the Sunbeams are fun too.) Felipe and I went to Goodwill on Friday and picked out two sweaters that we liked (I wish I had seen his first-but I am loyal to the one I picked) and let me tell you, Goodwill is getting pretty high and mighty. What I wouldn't give for a little DI right now, with their $3 sweater vests.

Felipe's is on the left and mine is on the right.
You can't really see it, but his sweater has great buttons! |

Turn the sweaters inside out and trace the pattern you want-I loosely followed the little generic stocking.
I didn't turn Felipe's inside out because we wanted to use the buttons, so I just drew the black lines bigger than I would have and cut inside of them so the lines wouldn't show.

| After cutting and sewing, we have the final project! I just used some extra material to make the loops at the top. Mine has a bit of a Seuss-y look at the bottom but it endears it to me. Loved this quick and fun project! |
