These are stockings I sewed 8 years ago from old sweaters. I did not felt them, so they are rather stretchy. While they are hanging, I put cardboard in them so they will stay flat (and not droopy). We don't have a fireplace so I hang them from my quilt display pole in the living room.
The initials are felt, sewn on with embroidery thread. I used old pearl buttons and a doily.
My grandmother's hankie and my wedding dress lace.
The next two stockings are from my Father-in-law's sweater.Buttons centered over fabric yo-yos are the decorations shown in the group picture.
Military buttons because he served in Normandy (among other places).
