No Santa or Reindeer here, just Rock N Roll!
I'm not usually into decorating my house for the holidays, but over the years I've realized that decorating helps get you into the holiday spirit when there are no signs of 'holiday' outside. It's still in the high 70's here in Arizona and it's December! I should also note that I don't like traditional Christmas decorations either. No Santa or Reindeer here at the TP household, just ROCK N ROLL! I wrote this tutorial on how to make your own Rock N Roll Christmas stockings.

  • How to make a Christmas stocking. Rock N Roll Christmas Stocking - Step 1
    Step 1

    First you'll need to quilt your fabric pieces together if you're using scraps (like I did). If you're not using fabric scraps, skip that part. Pin the stocking pattern to your fabric. **HINT** You can use an old stocking for the stocking pattern. Either trace around it onto your fabric, or trace it onto brown paper (like I did). Cut 4 stocking pieces.

    Now, with right sides together, sew the outer stocking piece together around the edges. Then turn it right side out. Also sew the lining pieces together with right sides together (don't turn the lining right side out).
