Why You Should Sew This Free Christmas Stocking

Christmas stockings are the perfect heirloom to sew this season. They’re easy to make, and there’s so much potential. Make them out of a thrifted quilt or shirt, use apparel fabric from garments you sewed this year. I like to pin Christmas stocking ideas throughout the year to save as inspiration once the holidays come along!

I saw Mary’s free stocking pattern recently and knew it would be a great pattern to feature. It’s beginner-friendly and can easily be cut and sewn in a weekend.

The tutorial features a video that is detailed and easy to follow. You can be sure to make an heirloom that your family will cherish for years to come.

Mary has published several other sewing patterns, including the Valencia Top, the Riviera Dress, and the Rosie Utility Suit. She also has a YouTube channel with tutorials for her patterns!

Be sure to check out Maiden Mary’s Instagram for inspiration for your next make!

The month of May has been a bit of a whirlwind. I’ve been making quilts, getting outside, wearing many of my memade skirts and dresses, and thanking God for an answered prayer that we didn’t even anticipate when the month started.

  • The Moonlight Dress by @sustainably.gabrielle is finally here. ✨

What a labor of love for this pattern. You can tell that Gabrielle’s attention to fit is so clear in this design. It’s so flattering on so many body types yet there’s room to move. 

For my version during the pattern test, I added 2cm to the neckline for a little more coverage and spaced the buttons 4cm apart. 

I love the waist tie for a cinched waist but could see myself making this dress in another version with a more relaxe...

  • There’s nothing quite like a classic star block quilt. ⭐️

I had the wonderful opportunity to test the new Louis Quilt Pattern for @summerflora.co . It’s an easy beginner pattern is perfect for those wanting to dip their feet into the world of quilting. It comes in 3 sizes and I know I’ll be making many more iterations of this pattern. 

I made this entirely from scraps in my stash. The green fabric is a gingham from @linenlab.co.kr and the white is from a thrifted cotton duvet cover. I decid...
