Wondering what to do with the kids all vacation long? We've got the perfect project. And it's great for the whole family.
Take an old thrifted sweater:
and transform it into a one-of-a-kind adorable Christmas Stocking. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle? Even at the holidays!
The new Sweater Stocking Pattern gives step-by-step instructions for FIVE different stocking styles. If you've enjoyed our MADE tutorials, our patterns are plenty of the same.
Great colored photos, easy-to-follow steps, and a lot of info jammed into one pattern. You'll love it!
You'll find the new pattern HERE in the Shop.And if you're missing a fireplace (like us)....an impromptu branch works just fine.
Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night.
All five of the original stockings are also for sale in my SHOP, while supplies last.

So cute. I saw sweaters on sale at the thrift store for 50 cents! What a great way to make a personalized sweater. These are really cute.
These are just adorable! The ruffly one just makes me giggle ... it's wonderful!
Dana--these turned out so great!! My favorite is the white/cream cableknit one with the green.
Seriously, amazing job!!
These are just so gosh darn cute!
These are just toooooo cute! fabulous.
You are so ridiculous! These are adorable! What a fun project. Great job!
how fun & clever, Dana. I was just actually thinking tonight that we probably need to upgrade our $1 stockings...
This is so neat! I love it! My fave is the pink one. :-)
I love your blog! I hope it´s ok if I add you to my bloglist?
I love this idea - the pink one is my favourite - pink and frilly, LOVE IT
Super Cute!!
How lovely, Dana. I can't even decide which one I like best - they are all so cute
Oh my gosh! I love these - what a great idea. I've got three felted wool sweaters waiting for some creativity to come their way. I'm going to use one for some stuffed animals for my girls, but this is another awesome idea for the others. Thanks so much!!
Oh goodness, these are terrific, Love them on the branch...what a great replacement for a fireplace. Santa is going to think you are so clever. He's going to want you to move to the North Pole!
Very nice!!!
Okay, I really like the stockings, but I just ADORE the branch idea! It's the most genius idea I've ever seen! Wonderful!
Love them all! you are sending them in a box to me right now, aren't you?!
can't wait to have some money to fix the sewing machine...or get a new one :-)
and, why are there 5?? am I reading too much into it?
I thought the same thing! There are five and you only have four of you in the family, right?
Anything to share?
These are lovely!
This is great! I love them ALL!! I always admire your creativity. I am thinking to make some stocking for my friends and the tutorial is going to help me out a lot!
Merry Christmas~
by the way, Dana I am hosting a Christmas giveaway, please stop by if you like.
Thank you all for the great comments! I'm so glad you like the stockings. There were one of those projects that started small....and then grew into a Christmas monster. I'm so happy with the results (especially the tree branch that we hung at 12:30am, so I could get pictures :) ).
And you are all very funny....NO, the 5 stockings do not mean anything. I'm not pregnant :). I just found five sweaters I liked and went to work! But thanks for asking :)
What an awesome idea. I love your simple plain ideas and they become so special and cute. I am currently working on your knee pats for my twin boys.
So adorable! I absolutely love these!
:) the big twig turned out awesome! love all those stockings! we're making some tomorrow! ;) -V
Those turned out really cute. My favorite one is the white one with the green lining and the green cherries. Are they cherries? Anyway, very cute. And I just saw that dietcokegrrl left almost the same exact comment! Hahaha.
Woops. That last comment was from me, sorry!
oh, what a wonderful idea and sooo cute!!!
i love it!
They look so soft and snuggly and handmade. I would totally hang those over my fireplace...if I had a fireplace, that is. ;)
