Plaid Stocking with Vintage Linen

My daughter was reading one of  my favorite blogs Confessions of A Plate Addict, and loved this post on making stockings. http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2011/12/tutorial-french-ticking-stocking.html


My daughter's version is:




She used a tablecloth from Home Goods, ($7) and raided my vintage hanky drawer for two monogrammed hankies.



Don't you think they turned out great!   It's not bad for an emergency room doctor who is better at sewing up people.   I did teach her how to cross-stitch in the 3rd grade.  I guess that gave her life skills!

Later in the day, we spotted these at Williams Sonoma


I like the homemade ones better!  Be sure to follow Debbie and her cat at Confessions of  A Plate Addict for more great projects.  Thanks Debbie!
