My homemade version:
The cost of my knockoff: about $8 in fabric and an hour and a half
Now to be honest, I probably would have bought the cute stocking from the catalog, but last year I made Michael and I's stocking and they are facing the opposite direction as the one from Crate and Barrel. Now we all know that hanging stockings in different directions is just nonsense! And plus, all of our stocking are the same size (Santa doesn't discriminate) and coordinating colors. Although I am tempted to redo the two I made last year. Evelyn's is by far the cutest of the three!
(Yep, it is true. If you notice from the picture, we are using pieces from our nativity scene to hold up the stockings. Baby Jesus for Evelyn's, I get a Shepard and Michael gets a Wise man! All very appropriate, wouldn't you say! Hopefully I will find some stocking holders on sale after Christmas this year!)

wow! very good job! i love the inside of her stocking!
very good! It doesn't look homemade at all! I like the inside, too. Her name is so even and straight!
Very cute!
Very impressive! I meant to make a stocking for G, but just assumed it would take too much time and too many different fabrics... so I caved in and bought one. I'm *thinking* it'll be a summer time project- we'll see! LOL
