We did it! We met our Christmas Stocking challenge 100% and with time to spare! I'd like to give a huge "Thank You" to all that helped make this possible. On Monday we'll be delivering stockings, slippers,hats and teddy bears to local shelters. What a wonderful feeling to know that together, we can and have made a difference.
Wishing you all the joy of the season.
Joyce Lucas, Founder
The Pink Slipper Project.
You might remember that last year we added a very special challenge to the Pink Slipper project. We provided "filled stockings" to the Christian Outreach program in CA.
This year we'll be adding another very special challenge to fill stocking for some very special kids spending Christmas in a shelter this year.

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 can wrap if they'd like to wrap.

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 6th to give us a chance to get them shipped and to their destination on time. ~ Thank you.
