Sewing pattern: Upcycled sweater Christmas stockings

Upcycle an old sweater into a cute Christmas stocking! Heather from Heather Handmade shows how you can sew these upcycled sweater stockings. No two will look the same, especially if you have fun with the trims you add! But while each one is unique, you can hang a group of them and they’ll still look coordinated because they’re all made from sweaters.
