the prettiest DIY christmas stockings

The prettiest Christmas stockings (easy & DIY)!

The thing about moving around the entire world is that you start Christmas from scratch (at least when you move like we do- ha!). But there is a silver lining to this- NEW CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS.

The prettiest Christmas stockings (easy & DIY)!

Y’all, I love stockings. Like lo-ove them. I made sweater ones long ago (but didn’t ever make one for Bohden)… and then I made minimalist leather-accent ones in Saipan… and I was itching to do another set. So thank you New Zealand.

The prettiest Christmas stockings (easy & DIY)!

They are super self explanatory- to make them, I got some extra neutral stockings and hot glued rows of trim to the top, then I made a few pom poms for each stocking, and added a yarn tassel for each stocking, then I embroidered little name hoops for each of us…

The prettiest Christmas stockings (easy & DIY)!

…and done!

The prettiest Christmas stockings (easy & DIY)!

Aren’t they so gorgeous?!? STOCKINGS 4EVA (or at least, a steady stream of new stockings every few years- haha!)!

the ballerina dress (an anthropologie knock off)

This last two weeks has been a whirlwind. Mostly an Everything Bag Sewing whirlwind, but with some next-year-possibilities thrown in the mix. Oh and we were away for the weekend (a church retreat in Estes Park!). Anyhow, the Ballerina Dress tutorial was backburner-ed for a bit there. Good news- now it’s done! To make one […]

DIY anthropologie knock off flutter curtains

This isn’t a surprise to you, but my “Repurposed” entry for So You Think You Can Sew Week 2 is the flutter curtains (they’re a knock off of Anthropologie’s Tender Falls Shower Curtain).

anthropologie knock-off flutter curtains (SYTYCS week 2)

“Make new curtains for the living room,” has been on my to do list for months. Anthropologie’s Tender Falls Shower Curtain has been on my pinterest for about that long. Plus, I compulsively buy white sheets at Ikea. And this week’s theme for SYTYCS is “Repurposed.” Match made in heaven? I think yes. But back […]

anthropologie knock off vintage lace bracelet

The prettiness from Monday and yesterday continues today with a little anthro-inspired bracelet tutorial. In a word, lovely. The lace-and-pearls embroidered on vintage lace is just loveliness. The idea came from Anthropologie (shocker, right?). For Jord’s birthday, I was wanting to give her a present that was lightweight (read- easily packed), and just pretty. The […]

anthropologie inspired knotted bedding part 2 (putting it all together)
