Christmas gift: stockings

Now that Christmas is over I can show off the projects I have been working on the past two months for holiday gifts. 

These are stockings I made from scratch for my brother and his new wife, they are made out of a simple muslin & felt and hand embroidered by me. The inside is lined with a cream colored silky material. I was very please how they turned out since this was my first attempt at a stocking.

I do have to give credit to weewonderfuls for the free embroidery pattern of the elfs.

I have Helen holding a turtle since she loves and studies them for her job as a marine biologist.
