[dateline] => 1380105046
[message] => Last year when my son was born 10 weeks before Christmas he was bought THREE (spoiled I know) 'My First Christmas' Stockings. Well I am at a loss to find one I like for this year as it will be his second Christmas so those ones just won't do.
I have seen a few nice Christmas stocking designs and know I would have no problems with the Cross Stitch but how would I make it up? I know to back it - but wouldn't know the best material - and I know it will need something around it at the seams/join to make it look neat but wouldn't know what or how. My knowledge base is cross stitch, aida and evenweave - I can use a sewing machine to do a basic stitch but that's about it.
Please can someone give me some advice or point me in the right direction? I will be stitching on 11 count aida to make the stocking nice and big but I do want it to last more than a couple of years as well. x
Thank you for any assistance in advance x

[message] => Nancy Halvorsen is a designer who does lots of Christmas designs, including panels for making stockings, with instructions on the panel. I know this is not cross stitch, but you could use the panels as a template for the front of the stocking? Then make it up as you wish, with a Christmas design on the back in cotton. There are also demonstrations on YouTube on how to go about making up a stocking. Happy stitching.

Last year when my son was born 10 weeks before Christmas he was bought THREE (spoiled I know) 'My First Christmas' Stockings. Well I am at a loss to find one I like for this year as it will be his second Christmas so those ones just won't do.
I have seen a few nice Christmas stocking designs and know I would have no problems with the Cross Stitch but how would I make it up? I know to back it - but wouldn't know the best material - and I know it will need something around it at the seams/join to make it look neat but wouldn't know what or how.
