A new Xmas 'stocking'/Santa sack

Homemade Santa sack/ stocking. Applique Xmas tree with name on baubles.

I foolishly bought Ollie and Max matching Santa sacks a couple of years ago. Completely un- 'future-proof' - what was I thinking! Of course I can't find a third matching one anywhere. So I have to get rid of them and start afresh, not fair for 2 to have the same and one different.
So I made this for Charlie. I didn't have time to make the other 2 but hopefully I will get time this year before he is old enough to question why his is different!
It's a pillowcase with bits of material appliqued on. The tree is actually an old skirt of mine!
I intend to embroider onto each present the year and what the main thing they asked Santa for (and got)was. I thought it would be fun to look back on how their demands change over the years....
