Whilst trying to save money this Christmas, I decided to make my daughter a stocking rather than buying one. A rather skimpy piece of Michael Miller material makes the stocking itself.
Check out www.michaelmillerfabrics.com and see a business built from scratch by Michael Steiner & Kathy Miller. Love it!
Because of the cut of material I ordered, I had to put a sneaky seam in to make the stocking long and thin rather than super short and fat! Finished with a mutilated Santa hat from Poundland www.poundland.co.uk to get the fluffy band at the top. Then 2 homemade pompoms and a couple of jingle bells from a pack of 6 from Sainsburys www.sainsburys.co.uk and hey presto!
Had saving money not been the main objective, I would have ordered 2 lengths of fabric to make a seamless stocking but all in all, I'm pretty happy with it. Hopefully my little one approves of the contents come Christmas!
