Personalized Christmas Stockings By Rosie Rose

You can order customized, personalized Christmas stockings from my Etsy store, RosieRoseDesigner.etsy.com. I have a wide variety of designs to choose from or I can make something specially to your request. Here are some photos of stockings I have made (and me at work on them). Enjoy! -Rosie


Each stocking has many layers to sew down, and lots of colors, which means switching thread color frequently.



stitching down the tiny pieces



fantasy/medieval theme

One of my favorite themes, are these Grandma Moses style primitive rustic villages.
the yarn stitched down to form roads, I actually spun myself by hand.
