Salvaged Sweater Turned Christmas Stocking





A sweater who has seen its days as a garment can have a second chance at life when repurposed. Sweaters can be transformed into many things but they look particularly good as lined Christmas stockings. Consider a bulky oversized wool sweater, it is perfect fonder for this craft. An easy washing machine, felting technique creates further texture. A walking foot sewing machine attachment makes all the difference in the final product, by better navigating a bumpy knit surface. Silly, brightly colored sweaters are especially festive as stockings. The possibilities are endless and fun.
