My cousin, Vanessa, is hosting a give-away called "Knock Our Stockings Off" on her blog. She has created a fun, funky Christmas stocking pattern, and if you make it and post it before December 14, you can enter to win a stack of cute fabric.
So last week, after I packed everything for our trip, I got going on my stockings. Here is the mostly-finished-but-needing-embellishment version:
One time I went to the fabric store in America and met an older Chinese woman. She was wearing a SPARKLY, BRIGHT green blouse she had made from St. Patrick's Day shamrock fabric. She was pointing to her blouse and asking the store clerk if they had any more of that fabric. It was hilarious!
Now that is me. Happy Chinese New Year Christmas, everyone!
But I love it. I'll be that crazy American woman at the fabric store, and I don't really care.
One of the reasons I'm mentioning this today is that Vanessa is having a sale on her patterns. You can enter a code and get 40% off, both on her Twinkle Toes Christmas Stocking pattern, and on a bunch of other patterns.
So... if you need to make cute little elf-toed stockings for Christmas, there's still plenty of time. Head on over and pick up the pattern! And then enter the give-away for even more fabric!

Oh my gosh, they are so cute!!! They look totally awesome. Now you can go back to where you bought the fabric and show them what you were trying to explain--although I guess the concept of stockings still won't make sense!! Love love love!
Super duper cuteness. I LOVE that they are New Year's fabrics. Just that great China touch you need in a Christmas stocking or two. :)
