Swap stocking ideas

Lots of people have emailed me wondering how they will get vintage stockings! Some good resources are Ebay and Etsy . Another idea is getting a plain colored stocking somewhere and embellishing it. You can get vintage inspired fabric blocks to sew on or you can. It doesn't necessarily have to be vintage but have a vintage vibe! Your partner will tell you the colors they like and what they like so that will help you get a stocking for them.

Stockings:

You could embroider patterns onto a stocking. These are free from Pattern Bee

Or get a vintage fabric or inspired vintage fabric and make your own stocking or use it for some detail in your store bought stocking.
