Our beautiful first tree to pick out together.

"stockings are hung by the chimney with care"

I wanted stockings that looked like the ones my grandma made in the 60s.  I couldn't find any patterns, so I just made my own (after googling some vintage christmas images to draw inspirations from).
Stockings are flannel, but that's just because I couldn't find the colors I wanted in felt.
Images are felt. I used mostly fabric glue - but some sewing.
sequins. sequins. sequins.
