Rescue Mission Stockings

As promised, I am attaching the stocking pattern from the Rescue Mission. Stockings are due December 4th at the Gifford Street Rescue Mission. If we want, maybe people could drop them off at ONE location.... I could pick them up and I would be willing to deliver them to Gifford St. So, do we have a volunteer for a drop-off location? or you could mail them to me.... You do not have to fill the stockings. They are looking for sewn stockings. Holiday fabrics.

Let's talk about the pattern.... THE PATTERN WE WERE GIVEN IS NOT FULL SIZED. They are looking for a stocking 10 inches across in the toe (to hold a can of shave creme) and twenty inches tall. Probably a small hanging loop would be nice... If you print off this pattern, you can enlarge it to these dimensions, or you could probably draw your own pattern on a brown paper bag.
It's pretty simple.

Many thanks to Lydia Moon who suggested this idea. We have had some enthusiasm in our group for this and the ladies at the Rescue Mission were thrilled that we were working on this project. So thank you one and all! If you will sew, I'll try to find drop-off location and deliver them for you! Thanks a million. You are the best!!! Linda
