Creative Christmas

How's this for advanced planning!!!  I'm teaching a class in December on making a reversible Christmas stocking - and not only have I made the samples, but I've written the instructions too!

So the stocking looks like this

Or you can turn it inside out to look like this

The instructions are here 

And if your spacial awareness is OK you'll make this which can be made into either version

However, if you're having a bad day, or have rubbish spatial awareness skills, you could end up with this which will never work

Or this which isn't reversible - sigh!

Still I did get there in the end!

Christmas is coming . . .

. . . and Elsa is ready!

11 year old (!) Elsa started this stocking at the Windsor Baptist Fun With Fabric session on Saturday, and then we ran out of time.  I was only able to give her very quick instructions on how to finish it, and just look what she's done!

How fab is that???
 
And just in case you didn't appreciate the finer details . . .  here is the top in close up, including bells which were all her idea!   (Thanks Tina for emailing the photos)

 Could be difficult for Santa to  put in the pressies without waking her - was that the plan Elsa?

(I will post something about MY sewing one day soon, just as soon as I do some!!!!)

Not my sewing . . .

I havent done much sewing, but do look at one of my Fun With Fabric ladies, Catherine, created for her son's Christmas stocking
