Remember my awesome tree skirt, 6 years in the making? Well, each pre-quilted panel came with two pre-quilted stocking pieces. And when you use 4 panels to make two tree skirts, you end up with enough for 4 stockings. I've been ignoring these stocking pieces for years, because as gorgeous as I think the print is, I just didn't need them. (I made us our own awesome stockings two years ago!) However, I'm trying to be mindful of not wasting things, and sewing down my stash, etc.....so I decided that I would go ahead and make up these stockings, and then I could find recipients to fit them.
I used my Three Kings cotton print as lining, just because I could. ;) And I used different bias tape to trim the tops, so they can be easily distinguished. The blue, skinnier bias tape is the commercial stuff I used on my aunt's tree skirt. The navy is actually made from the Three Kings print - I had thought about using it on my tree skirt, but decided against it. And the gold swirls is left over from my tree skirt. My aunt is getting one of the gold swirls, even though it won't exactly match her tree skirt. I just think it's super cool-looking. I'm glad I finished these.

Those are so pretty! I've been making stockings too. They make great gifts.
