Vintage Felt Christmas Stockings

                      I am feeling nostalgic this Christmas. When I was
                a child, my mother designed and stitched together
                our beautiful Christmas stockings. She used felt
                applique, sequins and beads. I no longer have the
                stockings, so I have been searching the internet for
                inspiration to recreate the stockings for my own family.
                                   

                       Here are a few of the designs that caught my eye:

       
                I love the red felt and sequins in these three stockings,
            but they may be a bit too busy.

                    
              These beautiful stockings were designed by Corey
               Moorgat and can be seen in more detail on her blog.

               
                  Blogger Pam Garrison designed this stocking for her
            son Dugan. More pics at her blog.

This design has a nativity scene that I would like to 

use for inspiration. Designs are from the blog

Do Small Things With Love.

Here is inspiration for Mother and Child applique that I found

on Pinterest: 

I really like the simple design of this nativity scene:

I'll keep you updated when I finalize my designs!
