This creation is courtesy of my Mum - I had too many ideas to make so she stepped in, her hand sewing is much better than mine!!
This advent countdown stocking started life as a pillowcase. Crafty Ribbons' Gingerbread number ribbon is hand sewn to the front and a glass candy cane marker can be moved along each date as you countdown to Christmas.
As it is a pillowcase you can pop 24 small wrapped gifts inside, one to be pulled at random each day. I love this idea as you are not constrained by the size of the pocket - it's hard to find 24 goodies that are so small!
It can also be used as a stocking on Christmas Eve. As it is personalised, Father Christmas will know whose it is and filled with the appropriate goodies or lumps of coal!!
If you fancy whipping one up you can grab the ribbons from here and a pillowcase from either the airing cupboard or your local cheapy shop! Have fun!
