As I've mentioned before - I love fabrics. I have a
basket of fabrics and old clothing that I keep just
because the material could live a second life.
Yesterday I felt inspired to make something out of
some of those pieces. I was drawn to an
old denim jumper - so that was my starting point.
I added some sweater remnants and wa-la...
I've kept a Christmas stocking pattern shape on
hand from years ago...so cutting them out was easy.
A section of the sweater sleeves proved to be a
perfect fit for the stocking cuffs...
...stitched some pockets in place and added a
vintage matching button. What do you think?

These are awesome! Love it when you can upcycle stuff!
Those are great! Thanks for sharing
I love how you use the Old Clothes for this Stocking, it turned out Beautiful.
I think they are adorable! Denim is my favourite fabric and I have started some stockings using old jeans, but just haven't finished them.
