Pattern Stalking Stocking

 

Is it just me, or is it a little bit weird to be seeing me back in the blogging world from THIS particular blog?  Well, I must admit that I have let this blog fall by the wayside (some would argue I let the other one slip too...but I digress).  I could make excuses & such, but I won't.

 

To be perfectly honest, the onliest reason I am writing this tonight is because of the picture you see above.  mmmhmmm...my stocking.  See, I am trying to enter a contest over at www.Patternrevolution.com & I can't figure out how to get this photo into the contest.  You see, by reason of deduction, I have figured out that I have to put a URL in the blank so they can see my photo.  I think.   Annnnnnnnd.....I THINK it has to link up to my blog.  SOOOOOO.....this is my feeble attempt at trying to be a computer genius.

 

Anyway, doncha just love my retro/kitschy stocking?  I really like the colors, they make me happy.  It has class and spunk.  Like me :).

 

The point of the contest is to make a stocking that reflects a favorite pattern or pattern designer, and I have fashioned this one after pattern designer Pink Fig's Cuppy Cake Dress.  I have made that little dress many times & it is fun to make & looks adorable. 

 

I did make 9 other stockings, too.  See, after 4 years, I finally got to feeling terrible that we didn't all have a stocking...not a big problem until this time of the year.  In fact, the ones we did have were generic red & white ones that Santa had to safety pin paper with names on them to so the recipients would know what was theirs.  Pitiful.

 

And I sew.

 

Ummmm.

 

...and embroider.

 

I'm a loser.

 

I tried to take pictures of the other 9, but it's dark. 

And this was the only one that was being entered into the contest.

 

I'm selfish.

 

....annnnnd embarrassed.

 

I am now beginning to think I may not even NEED a stocking.  Looks like coal for me.

 

Hey...Santa.....could you please put that coal in a baggie so it won't get my pretty fabric dirty? 

 

Thanks....

I just love the fun * retro look of the

My next new favorite. :) Mixing up traditional Christmas colors with funky zebra makes it so much fun! Your princess can celebrate the season with her usual style.

It's all about the details...and this one has TONS. It's the little extras that make a dress special. Here, I have put ribbons, pom*poms, furry zebra ribbon on the cuffs & as the sash.

The Hair*Do*Dad echoes the details of the dress, making it a perfect match!
