I've been eyeing this Elf Stitchette pattern from wee wonderfuls ever since it was published a few years ago and finally had an excuse to stitch it up and turn it into a stocking.
I based the pattern for the stocking on these stockings that I made a few years ago. The stocking is lined with a green polka dot fabric and a layer of thin cotton batting. I had fun in the trim aisle and used an iron on rick rack and a pom pom trim that I secured with a zig zag stitch. For the foot and toe, I used fusible webbing to adhere it to the stocking base and then used a zig zag stitch to applique it to the fabric.
I printed that pattern long time ago, it's so cute! but I haven't done yet (maybe next year).. I like your sock (is the right name?) with those green pompoms!!! (i love all things with pompoms!)

I love your stocking! The ric-rac is the perfect touch. I made a stocking last year with that pattern, but I like how yours turned out better.

LOVE THESE!! I am embarrassed to say that I have had 3 of these elves made (one for each kid) for over 2 years now. Along with the sketch for the stockings that they will adorn. And they're still not finished. You've inspired me!! (And thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments gave me a big cheesy smile).
