This weekend has been designated 'Crafty for Chrimbo' weekend.
I'd bought my festive fabric from my trusty market stall fabric man in Canterbury on Wednesday - 1 metre of each, red, green, white.
First thing Saturday morning I ironed each, then drafted a basic pattern (this was reasonably easy...but I now know where I went wrong on one of the pieces....knew I had to allow for a seam allowance, yet still forgot!).
I thought it would only take a couple of hours....
I finally finished the last one at just gone 10pm! to be fair, I was getting quicker as I finished each one, and a lot of time was spent drafting the pattern and cutting out. Oh, and of course the odd bit of weekend housework still had to be done.
Despite this misjudgement in timings, I'm still very pleased with the final results - there not lined like most homemade Christmas Stockings are, but these are going to hold gifts so not necessarily for ornamentation.
I've enough fabric left over to make 3 more...if I can find someone who wants to pay £4 each for them!
