I just posted pictures of the Christmas stockings that I have made for our family on my blog:
http://duringquiettime.blogspot.com/2009/08/handmade-christmas-stockings.html. I was reminded of them because of Sew, Mama, Sew's handsewing month. I didn't hand sew them exclusively but did add a lot of hand sewn touches. All of the recent handsewing posts have inspired me to start my baby's Christmas stocking. I am working on it now and will post pictures when it is complete. It too will combine machine and hand sewing.
