Here's a fun idea for a Christmas gift for a neighbor, student teacher, bus driver, etc. All you need is a sheet of red felt, a few small buttons, crochet thread or embroidery floss, a cute tag and candy. Cut the felt into two pieces to look like long underwear - a front and back. You should have room on the piece to also cut a back flap. (See back view photo below.) Stitch the buttons and back flap on with the crochet thread. Then stitch the front and back together, leaving the neck open. I like the look of the hand stitching, but I guess if you wanted to make a bunch, you could machine stitch them. Let the kids help! They don't have to be perfect. Then stuff it with candy through the open neck and attach a tag that says:
I looked for a stocking
but couldn't find a spare,
so I ended up stuffing
Santa's long red underwear!
I have to thank my friend, Torrie, for this darling idea. So cute. Enjoy!
