I said I would do two stockings for Stockings for the Arctic, but the truth is, my work has been really busy and I haven't really had time to do anything, let alone make stockings. Although I no longer celebrate christmas, I said I would do it, and a person is their word...

(I had made another but it did not turn out because I used the wrong seam allowance)

Basically, it's paisley print calico with organic cotton batting, cotton lining, and the fur is fur that Zsa zsa Gabor uses on her walls (of all things), with a wired ribbon and velvet ribbon bow and an ornament.

It was rather easy to construct, the only part that was hard was actually sewing the verticle seam on the fur, which my Wal Mart Special machine (the best machine I've ever had) would not feed it through, so I had to hand sew it. All the thread is 100% polyester thread.

I am sending three stockings, each with toys, and some extra toys left over. One stocking is from my mom, one is my own stocking that I won't ever use, and it's only a year old anyway. My coworker also did two stockings.
