6'7" to 31 inches. I quickly came to the conclusion if I wanted them all to be exactly the same I would have to make them. This presented a few new problems. 1. I hadn't really sewn anything since jr. high and 2. I didn't have a sewing machine. You know the saying "where there's a will there's a way"... well.....
Through a series of very fortunate events I am now a very proud owner of my very first sewing machine. ( Thanks Kathy and Chris) It was suppose to be a Christmas present but I got it a couple weeks early.
Lucky for me Chris's aunt Kathy is an amazing seamstress and was willing to encourage and coax me along with my first pair ( Taycee's) and I did the rest all by myself. :) I am proud. I know you are not suppose to be proud... but I am.
I also decided it was time for our family to have matching Christmas Stockings. I looked online for some but couldn't find anything I loved that wouldn't cost me my first born child, so... I decided to make those too. 
I know it is not Christmas material but when I saw these prints i decided I liked them better than the typical snowmen and santas. :)
So it has been a very productive week and I have done a LOT of sewing. But I think I like it, it makes my back hurt a little bit but it is rewarding to create something useful.
xoxo- me

Congratulations!!! I can't believe you didn't tell everyone about the stocking that stood up by itself because I used the wrong stuff on the inside. I hope the holes you got from my sticker bush in the front yard have healed. That was pretty fun that night, I have to admit. You're not supposed to tell anyone you know how to sew though cause you'll be surprised how many people need help sewing stuff.
XOXOX
