Denim Christmas Stockings
For Christmas in July this year, I cut up some old denim to make mini Christmas stockings for Warmth for Warriors. I cut the denim using a paper template and then just sew around the edges while leaving the top hem unsewn. Once the sewing is done, I turn the stockings to the right sides and fold over the top raw edges to the inside of the stocking.
A crocheted top is then added to the stockings. I used some scraps in red, white and blue yarn to add a patriotic twist to a few of the stockings. I have all the details along with several photos for the denim stocking tutorial. While these stockings are mini 6 inch long stockings, you can always make your template larger and make bigger Christmas stockings.
These Christmas stockings are for the yearly stocking drive for our troops. The stockings are filled at Warmth for Warriors Headquarters with soaps, toiletries, and candies for overseas to our troops as a little Christmas gifts.
