Last year I made lots of Christmas stockings for my familly and friends. I only actually ever put one of them on the blog. They were really all very similar but with different initials.
Anyway it seems people liked them and this year I got an urgent request to make two more - for dogs. Well I have not so much time this year as I had last year it seems. No idea why really. Work is far more demanding. Familly also, so my sewing time has diminished rather a lot recently, but I did manage to throw together a couple of stockings as requested. They are not the best made and I used the thread I had already in my machines but I think actually they look quite acceptable. The person requesting them seems happy as well so thats a bonus.
I decided, since I have sewn nothing else at all this past week to show you these pet christmas stockings. I have seen worse. They are just made from scraps of curtain brocaide and salvedged ribbon from those ribbons you get tied around PJs when you buy them, and decorated with tinsel but they should look quite good I think alongside the rest of the ones I made last year and hopefully the dogs will be happy to have them filled by Father Christmas. They will be a little better once I cut off the extra thread I can see hanging off one of them in these photos!
I just hope the dogs do not decide to do a raid on them before we all wake up on Christmas morning because the dogs in question can be theives. I suppose it would not actually be stealing since it will be filled by their toys/ food etc (assuming they have been good this last year) but a shame for the familly if we come down to a rather empty dog Christmas stocking!
Still we will have to see how it goes.
Have a great week,
take care
Bracken
