Some of you know that I like to make mittens from used wool sweaters. Once I cut them out, I'm left with a lot of sweater scraps. I've made stockings for the tree out of them in the past and this year I cut out hearts from the sweater remains using a couple of old Sizzix heart-shaped dies.
Then I sewed the hearts and placed them out as part of my home decor! They are sitting in a wire leaf basket on my dining table. Everyone who comes over wants them but so far there are none for sale. :)
Here is a photo of the stockings that I made last year from the wool sweater remnants.
I hand-embroidered a star on the front of each one for embellishment and added felt for the heels and a matching button at the top. They are cut out using the stocking Sizzix die.
One year I even made catnip mice out of them for the resident kitties. Check them out
