Rethink, rework, revise...
Well, it seems to be split about half and half—some of you liked the big green stocking letter, others didn't...and you all had lovely suggestions that gave me a few ideas, so I thank you all very much. The end result is this:
I opted for red felt lowercase letters in a different serif typeface...I think the letter is a little more subtle now. I added a white vintage button stacked on top of a red not-so-vintage button for a little accent. Buttons make everything better.
The big stockings are finished, now just three little ones left to make for "the boys." Stay tuned!
Oh lovely! The perfect solution =)

I like this revamped version. And just to throw another idea at you...Each year my children get to choose a button for their stockings. I sew it on and they can see how many Chritmases they have had. Christmases...is that a word?

The lowercase and red/pink letters really work--really charming! Any advice on adhering the felt to the fabric--glue, interfacing of some sort? Thanks!
