Because I have crazy pregnancy hormones that make my maternal instincts go through the roof - I find myself babying our cat more than usual...which really isn't saying much because I babied him a lot before...
I saw a pin on pinterest (where most of my ideas come from...) for these adorable pet Christmas stockings that were shaped like a paw and I loved it so much that I decided to try it. Right then. It was like 10 o'clock at night...
I printed off a paw print silhouette, because I realize that my drawing skills are lacking and I didn't want to attempt drawing a paw. I cut out each shape and used it as my pattern for the little paw applique pieces. I used the cutouts to get a general shape for the stocking as well, AND I used the paper that the cutouts came from as my layout guide.
I had some burlap and tan fabric leftover from a previous project to use for the main part of the stocking, and dug out some black cotton that I had in my scrap bin. I also grabbed some cute polka dot green fabric scraps that caught my eye for around the top of the stocking and got to work. I added a little red polka dot ribbon that I had on hand for the loop and a little bow (he might not appreciate this feminine touch...but he's a cat and I thought it was cute...so he can deal with it).
