This is the last stocking I will make for 2015. I started a little late making Christmas stockings, so I did not get to make as many as I wanted. I happen to like the monochrome scheme. Throw tradition out the window and this could be used at a wedding (in December, of course) as the ring pillow.

Fleece Socks For Winter

My daughter wanted fleece socks to wear with her rain boots, so I thought I would try making some for her. I didn't think the ones in the department store were worth $55.00, so I told her I could make them for less. I think she likes them better than the brand named fleece socks.

Fleece sock made using anti pill pink fleece and a knit fabric for the cuff.

Set below is white anti pill fleece with knit fabric on toe and heel of socks and a faux fur for the cuff

McCalls 7243

McCalls 7243

When I saw this pattern I immediately thought it was a must. I thought it would make a nice fall and winter dress. The pattern is McCall 7243. It did not take too long to make. Mine took an extra day of sewing time because I wanted to add a zipper to the sleeves, so I had to take time out to figure out how to add the zippers. I love it so much that I will probably make a black one. I used a ponte knit to make this dress.

Outdoor Pillows Completed

I had to make a new set because the first set faded. This time I used outdoor fabric.

I like to fray fabric. Button purchased at Joanne Fabrics

Wonder Clip by Clover

I love using these clips when I sew purses, pouches and pillow covers. It's all about control of the zipper and these clips do just that. I purchased mine at Hancock Fabrics when they were on sale.

The Bag

This is The Bag I made using Simplicity pattern 1519 and watching the video"Design Your Own Handbag" purchased from Craftsy. The yellow fabric is canvas, the black trim on top is vinyl, and the straps are goat skin leather.
