It’s a Christmas Stocking Work Bee…

What is a work bee?  It’s a beehive of activities making

something for others to help make their Christmas

brighter through your generosity.

Yes, it’s that time of year already to start thinking

about our annual assistance by making a

Christmas Stocking  for children and adults having

to spend their Christmas time at a Transition House.

extension cord

Ø Sewing supplies such as thread, pins, needles, scissors etc.

Christmas material but anything will work.

Ø Two - 13 X 19 inch pieces of fabric for lining

Ø 19 inches of lace for top, at least 2 ½  inches wide or your

choice how to decorate the top edge, fun fur etc. works

great or contrasting fabric for the top edge will work

Ø anything else you think you’d like to decorate your

stocking it’s your choice.

if you choose to do that.
