Creative Christmas Stocking with Island Batik from Curlicue Creations

This month's Island Batik Ambassador challenge was to make a Christmas Stocking.

Disclaimer: The products used to make this stocking were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

I was inspired to use the Emperor's Treasures strip pack and the dark coordinate, Merlot, that I received in my Island Batik Ambassador second shipment for 2022.

Though the purples and lime green are not very traditional Christmas colors, I love the rich look of them paired with the dark purple Merlot coordinating fabric. The first thing I did was cut 2-1/2" strips of the dark purple ...
