Christmas Stockings!
Personalized Handmade Christmas Stockings, hand sewn, heirloom quality, applique, embroidered
*For Christmas 2019*
Each of my Christmas stockings are one-of-a-kind, heirloom quality, works of art. They are quilted and sturdy, and will last a lifetime. All materials are very high quality. Stockings are lined and come equipped with a sturdy hanging loop.
Custom orders take 1-3 weeks, depending on my workload. This listing is for one stocking only, but I have it as a multiple quantity in case you are ordering more than one. Order # of stockings you want, and then write in the "note to seller" what styles and colors you want. I will email you soon thereafter to confirm your order.
I have many different styles available to choose from! I can do stockings based on family photos.... your own artwork or children's artwork... winter villages... snowmen, Santa.... sports themes.... really whatever you can dream up! Different styles look great together, and still "match" just fine.
*PORTRAITS*
Tell me what you look like and I will make you a personalized stocking, including interests and hobbies. I can also include your pet! I can make a matching set for the whole family that are personalized to look like you. Ideas for poses include: decorating the tree, sitting by the fireplace, holding a gift, throwing snowballs, building snowmen, hiking in the woods, or playing sports.
*WINTER VILLAGES*
The winter villages have a lovely folk art style to them reminiscent of Grandma Moses' primitive paintings. You can pick the buildings- houses, barn, windmill, church; and landscape- pine trees, barren trees, ponds, road, river, mountains; and time of day- day, night, sunrise, twilight...etc. Or I will pick for you. These are always a hit.
*SNOW FAMILIES*
I can do snow-women, men, children, babies...whatever you want. I can do either a sunny or a night time/stars background for these.
*SPORTS THEMED*
Tell me your favorite team or sport and I will design a cool stocking incorporating it into the design.
*SANTA CLAUS*
Santa can be doing all kinds of stuff! Up on the rooftop with gifts, eating cookies by the fire, putting gifts by the tree... or you make up your own! I could also do Santa and Mrs Claus matching His & Hers stockings.
*FAIRY TALE*
This year I am adding a fairy tale theme to my offerings! Choose a fairy tale for me to recreate! Or I can do a fantasy theme, such as unicorns, pegasus, satyrs, centaurs... fairies... mermaids...

**ADD A NAME!!!!**
On your request--- you can add a name to your stocking.
Three fonts are available, 1) cursive, 2) rustic print, 3) block letters.
**FABRICS**
Most of the fabrics I use for stockings are small remnants and in limited quantity. For this reason I cannot take specific requests for fabrics based on these example photos. However if you tell me the color and type of fabric you would like for something I will do my best to fulfill that wish. Usually in each stocking I use a variety of fabric types to add texture and depth. All stockings are lined with cotton in a complimentary color of my choice.
**SIZE**
All stockings measure approx. 15" long top to bottom and 10" wide (across foot). Hanging loop adds an extra 2.5" to length of stockings.

***Customer Testimonials***
"OMG!!!!!! How can I jump through this computer and hug you? I just discovered your envelope on the dining room table and I let out of squeal... I ran upstairs - into my closet - and turned the light on. I sat down giddy like the kid opening his candy bar wrapper on Willy Wonka... I LOVE THEM!!!!! I absolutely love them! YOU are amazing Rosie. They are great and I KNOW that everyone will love them. I am going to give them out tomorrow night... I can't wait! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I love the fabrics that you chose too - the hemp for the grass - soooo cool. All the details are just perfect. They are exactly what I always wanted. I want to hang them up all year long. As I sat in my closet I realized that my excitement for xmas going forward will be enhanced as I get excited each December to pull the stockings out of the box. Thank you Rosie - Thank you so very much." -Barbara
"I absolutely LOVE the stockings that Rosie made for my family! I emailed Rosie a couple of ideas for my partner and for myself and sent her a picture of our cat and she came up with the most unique and special stockings I could ever imagine. There is no telling the number of hours that she put into all the details on our stockings, but I do know that my family will cherish them every Christmas for a very long time. I cannot reccommend her work highly enough. Thank you Rosie!" -Barry
“WE GOT THE STOCKINGS TODAY! Rosie, we LOVE them!!! Thank you so much. Corbin could not be more thrilled! And Clay and I are equally excited. I absolutely love my outfit (it's so me!!!), complete with my turquoise cuffs - perfect. And Clay next to the trees with the cat in the foreground and the mountains in the background is also just PERFECT! And the pets are so adorable. I'll take a picture of the stockings hanging from our fireplace and send it to you. You've made our day, and I'm so excited we'll have these as treasured heirlooms for all the Christmases to come.” -Margaret
“SUPER Happy Saturday at our house, THANKS to your beautiful work! We are elated to add them to our Christmas tradition. I was staring at Corbin while we opened the package and imagined her having these many, many years from now, brought tears to my eyes.”

S (4-6) Swan Dress, couture dress with incredible texture and color shading.
