Two Recycled Stockings

My Huffle bought a jumper for an 'Ugly Sweater' competition at work. He found an old Marks & Spencer jumper, which on him did look ugly, but really it just didn't suit him. So I was given permission to make it into a stocking for him for this Christmas.

.......and this is how it turned out.

Huffle looking proud (he even asked me to sew the M&S label back in!

Then my Mum, Moo, decided to turn her PJ's, that she got in the sale and didn't like, into a stocking for herself.

.....and this is how they turned out.

And even some beautiful stitching of her name.

So the family's Christmas stockings are all ready for Santa's visit.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

 

P.S. I saw these in the supermarket. I never knew Butterfingers was already 'something'. The cashier looked at me in surprise and asked why was I taking a photo of a chocolate bar!!!!!!!

I was tempted to use this photo as my profile picture but I realised they have Peanuts in and I don't like nuts!

Fabulous stockings and what a great idea to make them out of items that are not well loved. I often hesitate to take a photo of something that strikes me as interesting for fear attracting odd looks, LOL. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Elizabeth xx
