It’s that time of year!

Time to think about making some new holiday decorations. Did you know that we here at Cochenille have a Holiday plug-in to Garment Designer? It is also available as a stand-alone program, meaning you do not need to own Garment Designer to run it. There are stockings (for people and animals), a bottle bag, various carriers for food, a tree skirt, and more.
I recently made holiday stockings for my son and his family. I chose the Stiletto shoe style for my daughter-in-law, an elf one for my granddaughter, and a standard stocking style for my son. I chose to use lightweight interior fabrics, in a somewhat darkened holiday palette.
Here you can see the stiletto pattern in Garment Designer.

And here are the pattern pieces for all of the stockings. I spliced some of the patterns to allow me to have more fabrications involved.

These next few images will show you how I mixed and matched the fabrics within a given stocking.

Then… on to the trims!

And I cut letters out of craft felt for the names.

Now… they hang every Christmas and My granddaughter can’t wait to see what’s in hers on Christmas morning.
