| Violet's Stocking |
Our youngest grandchild was born last November. Since she was still so young, our son and his family did not travel here for Christmas. Since they were coming in this year, I needed to make her a stocking to hang on our mantel along with everyone else's.

I bought a stocking at Hobby Lobby and then took it apart so I could embroider it. I used a free design that I had gotten from Designs by JuJu. I used sticky stabilizer to hoop the stocking and placed a washaway film on top to keep down the nap. I used MasterWorks for the name on the cuff.

| Putting it back together |
After I finished the stitching, I sewed it all back together. This may seem wasteful to buy an already made item and take it apart, but I find that easier that having to shop for fabric, cut out the stocking and then have to deal with the leftover fabric.

| Detail of embroidery |
I did get a little bit of a pucker in the fabric of the first O because of the plushness of the fabric. I just left it as it isn't all that noticeable.
