It's Christmas in July

The Crafternoon girls that I hang with decided we would make Christmas stockings as a group project, but we didn't really have a pattern to go by, so I sourced one from Martha Stewart. Basically I just used her template and loosely used her directions but the rest is all of my own design.
I am a scrap junkie...and when I want to do some mindless sewing, I will pull strips from my scrap bag and sew them together. Well, I had amassed quite the collection of sewn together strips...this became the fabric of my stocking and since I like a scrappy look, it worked out great.
The whole project took about 1.5 hours, maybe less. I embellished the cuff with seasonal buttons and a running stitch. What would I do differently? First of all, make a larger stocking pattern and a larger cuff on the stocking top.

P.S. This may just be going in the mail to the winner of the 07/08/09 giveaway!

Just found your blog. You seem as scattered a crafter as I am!! Yesterday I packed up all my yarns to put away so I could only sew and needlefelt. It won't last long. But no new crafts here, no way.
