Leather Christmas Stocking

I had someone staying at the house this Christmas so decided to make them a stocking like my grown up son and daughter would be having. He's into Larping so an ordinary felt/fabric one wouldn't do. Time to hunt in the box of collected fabric for something special.

This looked perfect: the sleeve of a leather jacket, chains, buckles, charms etc.

I cut the sleeve to the size and shape and glued the pieces at the edge (like I'd seen in Kirstie Allsopp's Christmas crafty series) before sewing it, punching holes at regular intervals with a Cropodile.

This is the finished stocking...

And here's a close up of the detailing at the top

Merry Stocking!
