A friend of mine liked the idea of the Mary Jane Christmas Stockings (original post here).

However, not really appropriate for a 1 year old boy. So I made this gorgeous Christmas Elf Stockings for her nephew’s 1st Christmas.

I found the tutorial through Craft Gossip by Sew4Home (tutorial here). I added the jingly bell on the tip of the toe (so Christmas-y :)) and I love the little red pom-poms.

To make it even more personalised I appliqued his name on it.

Just way too adorable – where was my crafty self when I was little. I would’ve loved to have made these for me and my younger brother.
