Where can I get a lovely, traditional Christmas stocking?

[Tatties]

I haven't seen anything nice in the shops!

Any of these any good?

Thanks Gillian, they are nice, maybe a wee bit pricey. But then I don't really know what the going rate for Christmas stockings is!

buying one of these for each of my DC@s would cost £60!

...on a lovely, traditional Christmas leg?????

sorry.....!!

better?

we use a pillow case

or this

another one

Oooh Gillian I like those knitted ones!

Think wollies usually do cheap ones.
Or these are lovely, I think ....pretty

They sell those knitted ones at our local pound stop!

but those are nice funny

didn't meant to pooh pooh your ideas gillian

I got a lovely wool stocking from Habitat a couple of years ago; might be worth a look there?

do you have a sewing machine?
not hard to make your own ( honest!)
otherwise you could consider it an investment if you are using it every year
mum still fills mine when I am home at christmas and it's got to be at least 30 years old!

We aren't buying masses of presents this year, just lots of little ones, and, instead of buying a stocking, we are going to get some plain cotton pillowcases and fabric paints and let them both jazz up their own pillowcases.

You don't even need a sewing machine.
Some felt
Some fake fur
Sparkling beads
Silver thread

And you can put their names on and keep it forever and ever
And sewing of an evening stops you eating chocolate
If mine weren't in the attic I'd post a picture

I just went to a department store and bought knee length, mens socks. Cheap & traditional - but do pick ones that are stretchy enough to get an A4 book inside the top!

I wish I had a sewing machine!
Funnypeculiar, I LOVE those ones

yellowmoon catalogue has a nice big one whih children can decorate with fabric pens, glitter pens etc.
(I am crap at sewing but I managed to make 2 nice ones out of felt just using blanket stitch and embroidering names on. And I cannot stress how bad I am at sewing!!)

Oh FP - those are sooo cute! WANt, want , want!

great, another christmas thread!!

(and i'm a definite no christmas talk before december gal )

i too would like to get dd a really nice traditional christmas stocking, not one that looks too commercial. i like the idea of a knitted one.

Cool, will have a look at Yellowmoon too Not letting ds anywhere near the glitter pens though!

that's it! i've got to have that skinny stripy one!

thanks FP!

Yes the stripy one is similar to the one I had as a kid. It's lovely. I love MN!
