I met a lady last week & she said her husband was coming home from Afganistan on Dec 29th & she had told him she would make him a Christmas stocking. She said she doesn't know how to sew & asked me to make one for him from an old uniform. This is the end result. I used the front of the uniform with the pocket & left the velcro for her to place his name above the pocket.

I love this idea. Do you have enough to make another & embroider the ladys name to be velcroed on & the year 2011. A matching pair. *4u all

I gave her back the old uniform, but that is a good idea. I have a number I may giver her a call. thanks,

What a neat idea!! I imagine she was very happy with your work.

Now that is too cool!

What a wonderful gift you have created for your friend and her husband! There are many ways to honor those that defend our country, and you found yet another one. Great job (and thank you!)

You did a great job using his old uniform. Looks great.

That was a very special thing you did for her and for him, our soldiers deserve better than what they usually get. This act goes into God's extra pocket for you!

great job.. he will love it ..

What a good idea - best use of a uniform I can think of!

What a unique Christmas stocking! Great job! Hugs, Lidia
