Christmas Stockings?

phunkles

As in the red/stripey knitted sock type of thing? To be filled and left on the end of the bed? I have the fillers but no stockings :S Does anyone know where I could buy a few of these (that arent £10 like Debenhams are asking for theres ) Please ???
Ps - I cant knit or do anything crafty which would make my own cause I bought all the card making stuff and its gathering dust

I got one from poundland last year and i thought it was pretty good quality xx

I saw some in poundland yesterday - not quite what I wanted so I am going to have a look in Wilkinsons because I'm sure I saw some in there last year.

I've been looking for Christmas stockings too, I need 5 for the kids and one for me and the OH.

Mummyyummy - What where the poundland ones like?
I think I want the long knitted type (although if they are consistantly £10 then the shorter felt type would be good :P)

Sounds silly, but have a little look in charity shops - even ask!, i picked up 2 for 30p each - the lady said no one wanted the knitted ones anymore..i was delighted

Is anyone clever enough to make something like this.....or give me some ideas how I could do something myself (I have seen some transfer paper in the £1 shop where you can print something on it from your computer and iron it onto clothing)

I really like these and they look like they would last a few years, but I have 3 Children and spending nearly £40 on 3 Santa Sacks is a bit steep! :eek:

gosh zippy
how strange

i am just about to go right now and make one

well its the 1st of 4
anyways

i got my mother a beautiful jacket (in a sale of course:rotfl:)
for christmas, its quite bulky so i am making her a sack to put it in instead of wrapping it

i am also making 3 for our 3's christmas eve "hampers" as amoung all the usual, i am mid making them each funky patchwork quilts, so need something bigger to hold them than a box

if its a success i shall post a piccie!
but i am quite slow in working, it may not be finished today
but i will come back

i had to change my (design) mind about the sack as i needed to make quite a big one, and i can only print off A4 transfers


i made this instead
the panels are the 12 days of christmas



i am waiting on ribbon to thread through the top coming, i just tied it up to show what it looks like
very MSE as we had gotten a comforter, and this was the sheets that came with it, we wouldnt use them and they were still new in the pack,

Very good :T
I'm no good at sewing, so wouldn't be able to do anything like that though!
However I have just found these on ebay...
