We don't use our stockings because I got tired of replacing them after they hung with stuff weighing them down. It doesn't take very long for the distortion to start. That said, ours will probably still just be used as decorations as I don't see me adding inserts on all 15 or so stockings. Great job on the bling! Your stocking are all so personal.

I have one that my grandmother made and hubby has one made by his mother, both done sometime in the 1950's. They've held up pretty well, considering, but your construction ideas are going to make these last more than one generation. I'm going to look at your other posts about these right now!<br />Nifty Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249020129403851346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-28937359921060501362018-12-28T20:02:41.228-06:002018-12-28T20:02:41.228-06:00You put so much love into creating the stockings, ...You put so much love into creating the stockings, which will be such cherished family heirlooms!!
