oooooh zippy, lots of ways you could make them Christmassy

i was going to make an iron on transfer for smaller ones
the ones you use for t shirts?
you buy the paper, either black, white or clear
whack it through the printer
voila

i have made my 3 teens loads of t shirts like this (£2 from primark)
make a design on the computer, REALLY easy, both picture & wording, printer, iron, done

or you could use felt
felt is amazing to work with and so easy
get that bondable sewing stuff or fabric glue

fabric paint?

loads of ways

you could also use a pillow case
mary makes santa sacks from red ones
a simple running stitch along the top would make it a drawstring sack
if i hadnt had those sheets doing nothing, i would have used a pillow case

Thanks for the ideas, I was thinking about either using felt (I could just about manage sewing felt on! or the iron on paper........think I will buy the plain sacks from ebay (3 for £12.50 with free p&p)

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

Sorry I haven't read your reply's so don't know if someone else has said but I saw some lovely traditional red and white striped stockings in M&S today. I think they were £6 each.

The Hawkins one is the same quality as the 97p one from Wilkinsons :S
Might have to shell out the £10 at Debenhams
I know exactly what I want and the quality that I want just cant find it

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've not got Santa sacks but when I named my kids pre bought Christmas stockings (:o sorry but I don't really "do" sewing ) I bought some sparkly felt from Hobbycraft and a long line of sequins and just drew the individual letters on the felt and cut them out. Glued them to the stocking and then glued the sequins ontop.



Only think I don't like the iron on transfers is they do wear quite quickly (well the ones we've bought do anyway). This is cheap and time to do and requires no sewing :T
Not sure what else you could do to decorate unless you cut out some Christmas shapes from felt so a present shape, holly leaves and circles for berries that sort of thing.

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

Great sack!
But also, how gorgeous is your kitchen dresser behind it??

Love it. :happyhear

This is quite a large one on the Help for Heroes website. The website description says H4H goodies this Christmas! Generously padded and lined inside, it’s made from 100% cotton and measures approx 36” (92 cm) from top to toe and is 11” (28 cms) wide at the top.
