christmas stocking recommendations

[EmmyReece]

Ok, I'm getting in a bit of a strop over finding Olivia her first stocking. I don't like the feel of felt (I'm really fussy with how fabrics feel) and feel like I keep coming to dead ends. I want something special for her that she can hopefully keep for as long as possible.

I did like this minnie mouse one from the disney store, but when I saw it in person it was much smaller than I was expecting and a bit stiff. It wasn't really very flexible, so no good for putting presents in

So I thought I would come and ask the lovely ladies of the grotto. Do you have any recommendations for me pretty please?

Thanks in advance

How about making one for her? I made dd's for her first Christmas using some of her old sleep suits for material. This year I'm making matching ones for both my girls. I bought some nice girlie Christmas material to use. The first one I made was the the first thing I'd ever sewed and I didn't find it too difficult. There's lots of videos on youtube showing you how to make one.

the disney store do a lovely christmas sack if you aren't too set on having a stocking. It's really big and you can get loads in it x

My mum got these for my girls at her house, they are lovely and fit loads.

Also JOjo Maman Bebe do a stocking that's cotton and my girls have one of those too....fits loads.
Will try and find a link

I'm also going to suggest making one. I made both of my boys in time for their 1st Christmas. I patchworked various Christmas material and the decorated with their names. It's actually really easy

I don't like felt either!

I'm loving the white company's stockings and probably going to get E this one (will prob buy for J too so they can have matching, and no arguments as they grow up ) -

Dh has chosen the mickey and minnie large sack for her from the Disney Store as there's a 20% discount floating around at the moment.

Dani I showed him that one as it caught my eye too, but he didn't seem keen

I'm half tempted by this stocking from Etsy

Loving all the suggestions though, thanks everyone I might try and make her one for next year as I love that idea, if I can improve my sewing machine skills
