Velvet Christmas Stocking...


What to do with a Bridesmaid dress ?
(Because no matter what they say...you will NOT be wearing it again. ;)

This Christmas Stocking was made from a dark green velvet Bridesmaid dress, that I wore in my Sister's wedding.



It is the simplest of all the Christmas Stockings.
(By this time, I had three little ones, 5yrs. old and under 
so I might have been a bit exhausted !)
But, this stocking has a lot of sentimental value because of the wedding. ;)



The cuff is made from the satin sash on the Bridesmaid dress.  It was at this time that I began using glass beads and crystals in my fabric projects.
