Christmas Stocking - Contest and Giveaway!

So its starting to feel a little more like Christmas. First, the blog post about Morton Elf is trending again and second, I've been making stockings!

Lynn over at The Handmaiden's Cottage has a fantastic Patchwork Stocking pattern and she's offering it for FREE for all those who sign up for the newsletter.



We also want to see all those fantastic creations! Join the Handmaiden's Cottage Pattern Group and post the stocking you've made using #PatchworkStocking for your chance to win a fat quarter bundle valued at over $100.00. The winner will be selected at random on December 11th, 2015.

There are a few options for this patchwork stocking pattern, here are the ones I made.


I mixed up fabrics but stayed with a very basic color palatte, I even mixed up the styles a little to use the basic design and then the more intricate patchwork. Adding details in the top stitching is also a good way to fancy it up without spending a lot of money on trim. For the basic stocking layout I used grosgrain ribbon and a blanket stitch (that I have on my sewing machine). You could also use ric rac instead of grosgrain. I like to try and use what I have on hand.



There's just so much you can do with this pattern!



I really can't wait to see everyone's stocking! So remember, sign up for the newsletter here to get your pattern for FREE, post your stocking to the group here using #PatchworkStocking and you'll have a chance to win a fat quarter bundle! Fun, right!


Until next time, xx.
