Daisy here again!
Posted December 6th, 2011 in What's New
Hope I’m not wearing out my welcome at your in box. But you know I have new and I must show you.
It’s here, it’s here!!! Woodlands from Cinderberry’s Natalie Lymer. And I’m in love. This is just three of them. There are 11 on the website and I have fat quarter bundles too if that’s what you like.
Here’s hubby’s newest. I love these little wooden boxes. They come with the fat quarters which are Civil War fabrics from Marcus Brothers. You can choose red or black.
Pillowcase kits also on the website. They are all under KITS.
Labels from Moda and Sandy Gervais. Love these!!! Under FABRIC on the website.
Ok,I’m going to show the first part of the mini stocking tutorial tonight. You’ll have to make up your own little stocking drawing unless you’ve ordered a kit. This is what we are making.
You need to get some batting for your stocking base. Lay your pattern down and trace around. Your batting should be doubled. So you have a front and back.
You can also trace them separately like this.
Cut out the stocking shapes. Not sure why I have three there. lolol You’ll need two for one stocking.
Next your going to need to cut several different fabrics into strips. I cut mine 2 inches you can do any size you want. The more the merrier. Get it!! Christmas, merry?? Oh never mind.
Lay the fabrics out the way you want them on your stocking first.
I laid mine over the stocking like this.
Take two of the strips. Again not sure what’s going on with the number THREE. Other than you would want to lay out three pieces to make sure that you reach the top of your stocking once that top piece is sewn on.
Lay piece number one right side up. I start in the middle of the stocking.
Take piece one and two.
Lay piece number two face down on piece number one. And sew a 1/4 inch. Oh yes, Gummy Bears helps the sewing go smoother. Trust me.
Press!
Now continue with piece #3.
press, then lay out your #4 piece. Lay it on top of #3 and sew. And on and on.
Ok, this should get your going. Be back with more. I’ll just post the rest on the website not in an email. So look on my website/blog for it. I hope you enjoy doing this. I’d love to see your stockings. And remember I have kits too on the website.

I could really just use an unlimited budget here. Like an open line of credit? These are all so darling….Sharon this is my favorite sewing shop. Thank you for getting it right. Smiles…Renee
Oh my! Woodlands is so cute!!! I want! My wallet doesn’t. LOL!! Those strip pieced stockings are super cute. Wish I thought of doing that. Maybe next year I’ll make more for gifts. I’ll start them in January instead of stressing over them 3 weeks before Christmas like I did this year. LOL!
WOW thanks Renee. That’s very nice of you to say. Made my day!!
The stockings are very fast Jen. Lots of different options too. I love making them.
Are those gummy bears sitting there? Super cute stockings bff!
YOU MUST have Gummy Bears in order to do a good job.
