Candy Cane "Chenille" Striped Stockings: A Tutorial


I already gave you a sneak peek at our new Christmas stockings, and today I'm going to share a tutorial with you.  Hooray!  I've had a horrible time lately finding the time to sit down and write up posts, so I'm pretty excited to have this together.





Our Christmas stockings are a red and white faux chenille, much like this blanket that I made earlier this year. The Chenille look is created by layering multiple layers of 100% cotton fabric, and stitching and cutting them on the bias.  When the fabric is washed it frays up and exposes the different layered fabrics.  I thought it would be fun to go for a candy can effect with red, white, and gray.
