Christmas Time is Here

Some of you seem to think so anyway. To help those of you who are looking to get ahead on their Christmas shopping I've listed a whole line of modern and brightly colored Christmas stockings in my shop. Many are selling already so shopping early might not be a bad idea so I don't run out of your favorite style. 

I've included some of the same styles as last year and added many new styles and colors to choose from. And just like last year, personalization is included. How cool is that! Below are all of the styles to choose from. Find your favorite in the Rock Paper Stitch store.

 

Christmas Sneak Peak

Here are my completed stocking designs with all of their bright colorfulness. Most of the designs are modern versions of traditional symbols. Personally the pink stocking design is my favorite so I think in the future I will play around with more designs like that. My favorite stockings as a kid were the one's with fur on the cuff so these stockings have the fur, but with a shorter pile (term for the length of the fur). Each stocking will include a personalized option with the child's name embroidered on the cuff.

As soon as I've worked out the photographs for each stocking I will list them on Etsy. For now you are the first to see them.

A Modern Christmas

Work is in full swing and I'm having fun designing some new items for Christmas. I've never been one to create things so specific to any holiday, but when my friend asked me to embroider her kid's names on some stockings she bought from someone on Etsy I thought, I can do that. So I decided to make Christmas stockings with a colorful twist. I'm not much on tradition and kids love color so these are designed with a very modern twist. For now here are the fabrics I am using to create these stockings. 

I'm using various colors of corduroy with a fur trim and lining them in a coordinating quilter's cotton. Once I've assembled the samples I will post my new designs here before I post them on Etsy.
