Romantic Country "No Sew" Stocking

In one of my Romantic Country magazine issues I read about how to make a Christmas stocking the now sew way!
You know this tickled my fancy since I do not sew yet! I had some sweet Shabby quilted fabric leftover from my curbside chair redo, so I decided to give this project a whirl!
I laid a sock over the quilted material to get an eyeball for the shape and then hot glued the edges leaving the top part open.
I trimmed the right side with a pretty country lace and added a burlap and lace bow to the bottom with a button topper. (I used all hot glue) So much faster and for a decorative stocking it gets good results, by all means, if I could sew this I would! The mini stocking shown below was sewn, i just added the fluff!

This is the cute curbside chair that I shabbied pink and made a new seat for!
So country chic!
 The chippy Hoosier cabinet is the perfect backdrop for that Romantic Country feel!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Please stop by sweet Beverly's for more pretty pinks...
Hugs,

    What a darling idea & I love the overlay of the 2 stockings. Hoosier's were my best sellers in the shop, yours is lovely.

    Hi Olivia,

    Whenever you get sick and tired of being "Cinderella", could you hand over that gorgeous pink shoe? I know it would fit me perfectly!

    Hope you are enjoying your holiday season. Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and thanks for sharing your beautiful gift.

    It gives a soothing ambiance to the people around the area. In addition, Day Curtain also protects our home from the people outside who wanted to take a sneak peek inside. A window without a curtain allows everyone to look over the glass and see the interior of our abodes.
