Each Christmas after the birth of one of our children, I have made the precious new addition a sweet little felt stocking. To make these, I cut two stocking shapes out of felt.
Then I blanket stitch (by hand) with white embroidery floss around the outside. Then I take a purchased doily and cut it in half diagonally and stitch it around the top of the stocking. I also attach a ribbon loop for hanging.
And to finish it off, I embroider the little one's name with gold embroidery floss. These are some of my favorite ornaments on our Christmas tree!!!

Very cute ornaments, Cindy. Thank you for sharing how you made them. Have a very merry and blessed Christmas!
Very, very beautiful! :):):)
Your ornaments are so pretty! I have a baby's first Christmas for each of ours, but that was pre any ability to sew for me, so they are store bought. They are still special though.
