Recycled Baby Stocking

Someone gave me a floor mat for my baby to play on that was missing some toys that dangle. Instead of throwing it away when I got a better one, I decided to cut it up and make a stocking! I made a pattern out of a large piece of drawing paper that I drew a freehand stocking on. I cut it so the right sides faced each other, pinned, and sewed. I trimmed off the felt material they used on the sides and sewed it across the top of the stocking for an accent and as the stocking hanger.
