Fun video. I prefer to design my own felt stockings.
Adorable stockings!
My grandmother made these for all her 20 grandchildren. We lost our stocking many years ago when my dad didn't pay the storage fee. But I remember these stockings with such fondness. It reminds me of Christmas and my grandmother. It took so much love and time to do this for all her grandchildren. I came upon these looking for ideas to re-create this stocking and create a lasting memory for my beloved 4 year old godson. He means the world to me.
My grandmother did too!! I want to learn
I AM the grandmother making these. I have made the Holiday Teddy, Candy Express, The Finishing Touch and I'm on the Woodland Snowman now. I also have a tree skirt I will complete from someone who started it and never finished it.
I am extra sad that you lost your beautiful stocking. So difficult. I see you. I’m glad you can make for someone else.
You're amazing, those are beautiful! 🎄🎀🐻🐇My mom's name was Charlotte and my grandpa's name was Charles, but he was called Charlie. My mom passed away last year, 2022. My nephew's wife is having a baby girl. Her name is going to be Charlotte. They are going to call her Charlie. I love it, I can't wait to see her.
I love how these christmas stockings just tell whole stories, what a wonderful tradition.
There is just so much love sewn into a piece like this. It's sure to bring joy to your nibblings for their lifetime
@@angelbear_og Sorry, I dont. Thats just the gender neutral term for neices and nephews
@@Mandavee Collective, not gender neutral (like "siblings"). I never heard it before Vsaurce said it should become a thing a number of years ago. :)
Oh my, these are so, so, so adorable. You could gift the Corgi-Stocking to Shannon 😉
They are truly a one of a kind stocking. I just made a quilted (and compared to your elaborate one) ang quite plain one for my niece last christmas. Filled it with crafting supplies, perfect gift for a 5 year old.
The corgi stocking needs to be Links christmas stocking for being an ever such a good fluffy small boy all year. Your stocking were fantastic, better than the kits by far.
So cute! Loved watching the process of it all coming together! Your nephews are very lucky!
Aw thank you!
This is such a cute idea! I've never seen these done with felt before, my gran created socks for each of the grandkids in cross stitch. love the 3d aspect of this though, the little tail popping out of the corgi butt is to die for
Hahaha I had to do a corgi butt! I remember the 3D stuff being so fascinating to me when I was little - I think that's what I love the most about this style, the tactile nature!
Thought. Could you draw the stocking shape on the felt after stabilizing it, put it in a hoop then stich the pieces down for future neices and nephews? Easier onthe hands. All my kids have specific stockings given to them that they use each yr. Traditions
So, the alarm went off and I thought, "Yay! My brownies are done!" Then I realized it was coming from on screen.....
Those stockings are so freaking adorable, I can't stand it.
Thank you! And hahahaha I was watching the video back after editing and was like... hmm I wonder if that alarm will surprise anyone... XD
I feel the name thing! I messaged you in Etsy, so you know my "real" name, but I want to start going by Kenzie. I'm considering doing it soon, kind of reinventing myself. Glad you found yourself
🧡
thise are exceptional beautiful....so so well made and lovely...i could not make this...🎀
Oh my goodness! That is so amazing and beautiful! Also so great that you're passing on a family tradition from your mom. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for following along!
Wow. It’s so beautiful!! You are so talented, and patient. I kinda want to do one now but I should probs finish the other 50 embroidery projects I have in my WIP pile 😂
And I think the ominous-ness of crows comes from the bible. I think Noah sent out a crow/raven to find land and it never came back. Then he sent the Dove 🕊️. I could be wrong, been a very long time since Sunday School so take that with a pinch of salt 😂.
A bit before we reached school age, around ~4yrs old, my mom told my brother and I that we can pick any name we want and we could use that name at home and school, then we could have it legally changed after we turn 18 if we want to officially change it. She explained it as, "I didn't know you when I named you, so if you like another name better then you can have that name." I tried out one other name for a couple months in 2nd grade but it wasn't for me and I'm okay with my name so I just stuck with my original. My brother kept his name as well.
I have a friend that has used her middle name since before I met her and another friend that uses her last name as a nickname.
This was such a huge help! Thank you so much.
Absolutely love these. My mom designed and made personalized stockings for my kids. They are treasures.
You are so talented!!! I enjoy your videos so much!!!
Aw you're too kind! Thank you!
Loved watching the process! It turned out so cute!
Thanks! It's really a fun one to make - kind of like creating and then putting together a puzzle!
These are amazing. I have so many ideas.
Yaaaaas make them all!
You don't strike me as a Kaylee at all x) It's funny how some people really suit their name and others just totally don't. Also weird how that works!
I didn't grow up with Christmas Stockings (we have 'Sinterklaas' where you put your actual shoe in front of the fireplace and sing songs to then find a present in it the next morning) but it is something I'm looking forward to introducing and making myself when we have kids!
Aw I love the idea of singing to your shoe to get a present!
And yeah, I find it so weird that we are assigned names at birth and some people sort of turn into the stereotype of that name and others are just so far off. I'm glad we at least do middle names so there's a sort of legal version to play around with!
I've started my first ever stocking and its a Bucilla, I found it on Amazon. I'm from the UK and these stockings aren't a 'thing' over here so I'd never heard of them before, but I wanted to make something for christmas so I got it. OMG I'm loving it, I haven't sewn anything since school, I'm a papercrafter so making cards and gift bags is so far from sewing felt and sequins but I'm so happy I found it and I shall be making many more. xx
Amazing! You did a great job!
Thank you so much!
These stockings are amazing, heirlooms, made with so much skill, patience, creativity and love!! May I be so bold as to suggest - Shannon Makes' adorable corgi Cannelle - would be a wonderful recipient of the gorgeous corgi stocking? I'm loving diving into your older sewing content, a happy subscriber!!
Love all the stockings you made!
My grandma made my stock from scratch with felt before I was born, got the spelling wrong because I guess it hadn’t quite been nailed down yet- but I love it. My husband’s older sister also made stockings for her whole family when she was a young teen but more with tiny soft plushes and things that just raw felt and embroidery. It was cool the compare the different styles.
You definitely seem more like a Charlie. Weird how that works. My husband's family does this style of stockings. They're delightful!
so, you're a secret k.c.!! i have a cousin named karen c, and her mom and the rest of us have called her "k.c." her whole life. that's a great nickname, too, but i really love "charlie"--it suits you perfectly!
I wonder why we never had stockings as kiddos. I made stockings for my family and my son got all the accumulated decorations he and I made. My mom and I painted a nativity for each of us one year at my kitchen table. Now I have no decorations! This year I did get a wooden tree shape for Winter Solstice. Maybe because we weren't Christians?😂 my mom didn't say a word about my zillion Christmas😢 decorations now living at my son's house.
Did you say 'Fin'n'? I immediately thought of the Christmas whale my husband has on a tie!!
We had these growing up too! My mom always said that her sister made them for us, and your video made me realize that I will have the joy of making them for my family and nibilings when the time comes too :).
We actually had a spare kit lying around when i was a kid and i remember taking everything out and trying to assemble it when i was maybe 10? . I really want to see if my mom still has that one, i am certainly more equipped with the skills necessary for this then i was 10+ years ago
OMG! That corgi is adorable!
So that’s where my hook went!!!! 😅
I have all the hooks!
You're right, Kaylee does not even remotely fit you
OMG incredible.
These turned out great. The corgi butt, the rabbit!!. I still have the stocking my mom made for me from one if the kits. Such a special piece
I would need to be good at drawing, never mind 😢
Do you sign your work? (Felt or embroidery)
Shannon makes has a corgi
omg someone else who started going by their middle name later in life! (Incredible to learn that now when I've watched most of your videos) It def took some time to adjust, and it's such a struggle sometimes cuz when forms are official enough, you need to put your full name including first name, and I never know where that cutoff is. But I love going by my middle name! And I'm always happy to find other people who do too! (And I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on names, I too have a lot of thoughts on names, as I'm sure most people who changed their name do, and it's akways so interesting)
Yeah the official forms are still a tightrope sometimes... I've signed contracts before as Charlie and then I'm like wait... is that not legal??
But oh my goodness yes, I have sooooooo many thoughts on names. They've always been so important to me! I have this whole rant about how people should be allowed to choose their own names at a certain age... maybe I'll tangent in that direction in a video sometime!
Any tips for getting templates if your sewing skills are way better then your drawing skills?
I've seen comments (in a Fb group for these) that said their mother/grandmother used coliring books to make her own designs...
Well that kind of explains why you sent my call yourself Charlie Charlene is the female version of the name Charlie just letting you know that because I was called Charlie most of my life
What a wonderful way to keep the tradition going! Love your creativeness. And I agree, you are a Charlie!
For tiny bits, depth or just for fun I use fabric paint, the good thick stuff. I buy the kits, their so sloppily cutesy I can't resist. I use whatever I have, I don't stick to felt at all. People have actually commented on how the paint enhances it.
Your white is sooo thin with no structure! I would have been tempted to put thin white cardboard between 2 layers of white just for the front. 1 def wouldn't hold any of mine together
Fun. My Aunt knitted stockings. Santa’s beard was angora and so so soft.
I’m Meg, but named Margaret. Oh the trials.
This may be a sign that I need to pull out my equivalent felt project. I fell in love (*mumblemumbleYearsAgo*) with a Bucilla felt wreath kit in this style, featuring Christmas cookies and candies. Do I have room for yet another Christmas wreath in my Toronto-sized condo? No. I absolutely do not. What I do have room for, however, is a garland to hang along the front of a wide bookshelf. I also decided to skip the kit and make it myself to my exact specs, because I like to complicate things. I have also collected a large stack of felt in all the colours for it. Plus, I needed all the beads and sequins and rickrack and white trim with little dangly white pompoms, and and and….*sigh*
I started making this way back in the before times, sooooo….yeah, should get on that.
I've seen stockings like that in a box of decorations, not with names. Me and my siblings stockings were like santa hats and there was two others for when my cousins visit. Felt ones seem very extra and would look cute in miniature. My doll Macy is always trying new things so she'd definitely have done this for her five kids. And her grandson will need a stocking for his first christmas. She'll just have to find time in between family politics and magical villains.
I love this!! I have been looking for a good diy stocking for my grandkids and your video is perfect!!! Now,off to the store I go to get some felt.
I thought they were so cute I’d make one each for my seven granddaughters but seeing how long it took you, I’m not even going to try 😂
where do you buy your felt?
I just get it at the fabric store!
I'm super impressed what incredible Christmas stockings!!
I love a little felt and embroidery myself and I know how time consuming it can be. They were obviously a real labor of love, what wonderful gifts for your nephews.
I really enjoyed watching your video and intend to subscribe! ☺️
Hope you had a super Christmas and weren't effected to badly by the winter storm.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing, and welcome!
I don't need another hobby, I swear!
"kid in my life"?
Me. I'm the kid.
Thank you I have an ideal. Why make them just for Christmas and do them for other Holidays. You could gifts in them for that Holiday. I am going to try it. But I am a newbie so it will have to be more simple to start. Yours are so CUTE 😍 🤧 💓
That's a great idea! It's like a gift basket for any occasion, but with a whole lot more personality! Go for it!
So beautifu love 😍
That is crazy good.
This is so cool!
Wonderful!
Very cute!
