Alex's Missionary Stocking

I have made all three of my boys a special missionary stocking their first Christmas out in the mission field. Brandon & Ben loved theirs so I'm hoping Alex will love his as well.

Here is Alex's stocking:

Here's the first one I made for Brandon in November 2003:

And here is the one I made for Ben in November 2005:

Funny.....that's exactly what I had in mind for Colby's! I found the ties this week.....but have had no luck with the shirts. I can clearly see that this is WAY beyond my abilities. LOVE your talent! Looks great!

She may have talent but it isn't fun around here while she's sewing. I'm glad she's done.

I LOVE these!!! I'd like to make one for my youngest brother who will be out on his mission by next year's Christmas. Do you have a pattern or did you just make it up?

So cute!!! Great job!

I have a senior missionary couple in my ward with their first Christmas away from home and I would love to make this but I need to know how to make a Sister one as well. Do you know how to do that?
