Christmas Stocking help
Ok.... apparently my web site is in limbo at the moment, so I can't post
the pictures I took, but I made 4 stockings out of red and green denim... nothing fancy just red stocking, green cuff or green stocking with red cuff. I seem to be stumped at what to use for the hanging loop. Denim seems like it would be too bulky by the time you have that hemmed and attached to the hem at the cuff... looking at 4 to 6 layers of denim there. So.... ribbon?? something course that would match the texture of denim??? Ideas??????? Jan |

Ribbon works, or how about some fancy trim such as upholsterers use, or the
lighter weights. have fun with the choices! Diana -- Queen of FAQs Royal Peace Maker http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Jan Dunaway" wrote in message nk.net...

Joanns probably do, I dont know about Hancocks.. but even our Walmart
carries an interesting selection of trims. Im sure you can find it fairly easily. Good luck on your hunt... I wish we could see the finished stockings! I love stockings. They are such a nice small project to spend time on. Diana -- Queen of FAQs Royal Peace Maker http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Jan Dunaway" wrote in message ink.net... That's a good idea!!

Why not jute? I see kids with jute belts on their jeans all the time. Now
to put it on the stocking??? Maybe staple it on or I suppose you could sew it to the inside. I just finished making two Christmas stockings from flannel - and for hangers I used 6 strands of floss (which look like jute from the colour) - put them inside at about the point where the cuff is attached to the sock - they look good.

Hullo Jan
Could you use a brass curtain ring? or something similar? Does it have to be textile? Do you crochet? If so, you could make a nice little short narrow piece of small stitch crochet - or macramé? ..
