Our 2011 Christmas Stocking Drive is coming to a close soon and we need your help!

Many of you might remember that in 2009 and 2010 we added a very special challenge to the Pink Slipper project. We provided filled Christmas Stockings to many children that would be spending Christmas in a domestic violence shelter.

This year (2011) we're doing it again. Since we're getting such a late start I've already chosen a shelter in Maine (near Rachel) and then will add general gender and ages for our local shelters. We will find a welcome home for every single stocking and then some! This is one of our favorite challenges!

We'll also provide slippers and care kits for the moms this year.  We have a lot to do in 6 weeks!

CHRISTMAS STOCKING CHALLENGES for 2011 - We'll be servicing 2-3 local Domestic Violence Shelters and one in Maine - Due Date on or before December 7th.The earlier the better. (Date has changes due to travel plans)  Please make your pledge today and we'll add you to the list! Email: info@thepinkslipperproject.org

Ideas for filling stocking: Gift Cards, Small toys, Books, Puzzles, Puzzle Books, Music CDs, Toiletries, Art supplies, Hats, Mittens, Jewelry, Cosmetics, Hair accessories, Christmas Candy, Hair brush, Small arts and craft kits, bath puff, bath products, etc. Just try and make sure that what you fill the stocking with is age appropriate. This is a wonderful thing that you're doing. Just imagine the child opening your stocking on Christmas morning. Imagine the joy and excitement. Just follow your heart and the stocking will be perfect.

Please do not wrap the items that you purchase to fill the stockings. The moms will need to see what is inside and then they can wrap if they'd like to wrap.

Please ship stockings to:
The Pink Slipper Project

Colonial Heights, VA 23834

Thank you to all that have already pledged your contribution. We'll be warming hearts and toes for sure with this challenge.

Warmest Thanks,
Joyce Lucas

RAG STOCKING INSTRUCTIONS (optional)

Whether you are making a rag stocking for a Pink Slipper challenge, or using it for your own holiday decor, I think you'll agree that the rag stocking is super easy to make and super cute.

Start with your favorite stocking pattern or sketch a simple stocking pattern. Ours is 21" from cuff to toe and 17 1/2 " from cuff to heel. (unfinished) 19 1/2" - 15" (Finished)

CUT 2 - Primary Fabric
CUT 2 - Coordinating Lining Fabric
CUT 2 - Batting

 

Once all pieces are cut, layer as shown. You'll have 2 identical sections, each containing 3 layers. Make sure that your primary and your lining fabric are facing out. You will not be turning after stitching.

Stitch across the top of each 3-part section - 3/4 " from the upper edge. This will give you your guide for ragging the cuff.

Fold 2 1/2" contrasting cuff to the outside. Pin both 3-part sections together - cuff to the outside. Start Stitching at upper corner of cuff - 3/4 " from the edge. Stitch around the entire stocking.

 

Clip edges, almost up to seam - approx. 1/2" between each clip. Fluff with fingers when clipping is completed.

 

Stitch on a small length of ribbon at upper cuff for hanging the stocking.

Stockings Must arrive here in the PSP studio by December 15th to give us a chance to get them shipped and to their destination on time. ~ Thank you.
