Gone to the Dogs - "Zoey"

This is my first pet stocking, made for my sister's adorable little dog, Zoey.  It is also my first denim "pocket stocking," which is also made entirely of recycled denim.  Don't worry, it's been thoroughly laundered!  The heart-shaped pockets came from an old pair of toddler jeans, and are still fully functional.  I hope Zo-zo is a Levi's kind of dog.  At approximately 13.5" it is one of the smaller stockings, lined with cotton quilting fabric.

A later addition, the name tag.

Dreamin' By the Fire - "Anita"

I made this one for my aunt in Colorado.  A "cozy fireplace scene" was suggested with special mention of Bert, the black labrador.

The body was made of a red brocade, the crest of cream-colored embroidered ribbon and green corduroy with Vintaj brass accents.  The majority of the scene is made of felt.  The forest print of the two deer was cut from cotton quilting fabric, and the tree is decorated with jewelry elements and glass and jasper beads.  The bears are buttons.  The lining is a red poinsettia print cotton quilting fabric.

Highlander x2 - "Anthony" and "Kristen"

This request was for the "Highlander" design, but full-sized and with name tags.  The linings were also changed to Christmas cotton quilting fabric, one with poinsettias and the other with snowflakes.

Rustic I - "Jill"

This stocking was commissioned with the instructions that it have "nothing shiny."  This is what we came up with, snowball-fighting snowmen, a few labradors, and a rustic tree.  The tree is decorated with red glass seed beads, red jasper beads, and handmade bows (made of sewing thread).  The snowmen are dressed in yarn hats and scarves.  It is lined with a cotton quilting fabric.

Colt

This cowboy-style stocking was made for a distant newborn cousin of mine in Montana.  The saddle on the horse was made of genuine leather with as much accuracy as possible on such a small scale.  All the rope, bridle and reins were handmade of sewing thread.  The body was made of blue denim, lined with white satin.
