I decided to break out my Art Philosophy cartridge and put it to good use to create a shabby chic Christmas stocking:
Materials Used:
- Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge: Stocking p.67 @ 11.11" W x 17.63" H, Stocking Layer @ 9.19" W x 17.63" H, pg. 69 Rose Font @ 8.30" W x 7.99" H, pg.59 Petal2 @2.05" W x 3.77" H
- Mailing Paper
- Fabric 1/2 yard
- Misc. Felt
- Thread
- Stampin' Up Kraft corderoy buttons
- Stampin' Up rose Red stampin' writer
- Ranger Petal Pink liquid pearls
- Hot glue
I used the mailing paper for my patterns.
 |
| I then cut two stockings out of the paper, pinned it to the cloth, and cut out the image leaving a 1/2" border. I did this to the stocking layers as well. |
 |
| I sewed on the heel and toe portion of the sock in a coordinating fabric (in this case, it was the opposite side). |
 |
| Next, I added the top portion of the stocking that I already lined. |
 |
| This is the completed stocking from the inside. I also added a hook. |
 |
| Last, I turned it inside out and added my flower embellishment. |
 |
| I added two corderoy buttons and Ranger liquid pearls in Petal Pink for added embellishment. |
 |
| This is the first time I used liquid pearls. I must say, I am in love! |
 |
I cut the flower and petal out of felt and highlighted it with a stampin' writer in Rose Red.

Now , for all you sewing divas out there, please forgive me of my method. I am a COMPLETE novice and just decided to give it a go and use my sewing machine for something other then my cards and scrapbook pages. I am in NO WAY an expert seamstress! =) The project was actually quite simple. It only took a few hours and that was with me not having any plan, just an idea in my head. Give it a try!
Sorry about the strikethrough on the directions. I tried everything and couldn't get rid of it. =(
