Both my mom and DH's mom made us felt applique Christmas stockings when we were little that now hang at our house, so I kept the tradition alive and made one for DS1. It's this one:
I started it the weekend after Thanksgiving, did about 3 hours/night and finished it on Christmas Eve. Trying to avoid that this time! So, I'm looking at ones for DS2. Not immediately crazy about any options - but maybe I'm being picky. Have to have space for the name at top, have to have the heel on the left, and cannot look creepy, be religious in nature, or Pirate Santa (really!).
So far I like this one the best. WDYT, or can anyone find a better one?

We had the same kind of stockings when I was a kid! I'm not crafty at all though, so I bought stockings from PBK for my kids. But I think the one you picked is very cute.
Also, you just made me feel better about myself because I started searching for Christmas stockings last night and DH looked at me like I had grown a second head.
Those are adorable!! Your sonds will love them. I've always thought that if I celebrated Christmas I would buy fancy stockings from Pottery Barn, although I don't think I wouldever spend all that money.
