Crazy Quilt Stocking
These crazy quilt stockings are time consuming but so fun to make. They're like a puzzle that you build piece by piece, selecting scraps of fabric that fit together and also colours that pop off each other. It means that each one is unique. The stocking I had growing up was made by my godmother and was a crazy quilt, with Victorian style printed fabrics, and is what inspired this stocking. It is lined in rich red cotton and backed with a festive red striped cotton.

In my house growing up, everyone had a stocking on Christmas morning. Stuffed with little presents, satsumas, sugar mice and chocolate coins, they helped kick the festivities off on Christmas Day (and also keep the kids occupied whilst coffee is being made).
If I'm hosting Christmas I still make sure everyone has a stocking, including guests.
Fully lined and finished with French seams, they are sturdy enough to be used for years to come and passed on to the next generation.
