Cut and Sew Vintage Christmas Prints

Left and center, a printed Santa figure on cotton with dimensional boots and sack of toys. Right,
 a snowman with dimensional top hat, scarf and pocket with tree. Both of these figures were sold
as panels off of a bolt of printed cotton fabric. They are from the 1990s.

      I purchased this "cut and sew" Santa pillow (above)  on an after Christmas sale. The copyright of this Santa belongs to Dorothy Dear Designs, 1979-1991 Forest Grove, OR.
      I cut and sew the snowman (pictured upper left) many years ago from a panel that I purchased from my local sewing shop.

This vintage felt stocking was once owned by my mother-in-law. I
believe it to be a reproduction of a much earlier printed stocking
from the 1950s.
 
These three stockings were given to myself and two older siblings in the 1960s. They are origianl.
I've drafted similar patterns for reproducing them below.

The glitter shapes from the center stocking with bells.

Similar shapes for the stocking above for those of you who would like to make something
 like these retro stockings for personal use only.
