I have never sewn anything until now. I made my first pair of
stockings and I did it all on my own. I had to read the sewing
machine manual first of course, but I managed and completed
my stockings. I wanted to post it to show you that anyone can
do this. If I can, anyone can!
Now if you do not own a sewing machine, no problem.
Did you know you can glue this baby with fabric glue instead of sewing it?
You sure can!

This is my first ruffled sewing craft. I have to admit, it was pretty fun sewing it because
I followed no directions, I just scrunched it up as I went along. Remember, it doesn't
have to be perfect to be beautiful.
To create this glitter letter effect, use this same method and

You may add more decor to your stocking by adding fabric stickers
available at your local craft store such as these snowflakes below.
I personally prefer it without it.
