This was the first, from a Homespun magazine, (vol 6.4) with the same Robyn Pandolf fabrics and it's my favourite, it looks oldy worldy. The pattern is called Santa's Treasure sack by hugs n kisses.
I have found the pattern here, if you scroll down the page, you'll see it.
I made use of the newer Christmas fabrics at the time for this one. I've smudged out the names I embroidered on the name pillows.
This was the last one I made, fairies were requested so instead of redwork, I made the fabric do the work.
I've been playing with a little stitchery the last couple of evenings so next time, I'll show what I'm going to do with this.

I love them! So you use the sacks instead of stockings? They are really adorable and I'm sure they'll be filled with wonderful surprises for the kids!!
Love your santa sacks, Janet.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw them was a Court Jester who always provided entertainment and merriment in the kings and queens courts in days gone by.
I'm sure your sacks will be filled with goodies to bring your grand children much merriment as well...from Santa, of course.
Love your Santa Sacks!

I just keep learning new things all the time... hadn't heard of santa sacks before. So cute with the redwork, points, bells!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the pretty strawberry stitchery.
By the way, the sparkly tree at the top corner of your blog is fun.

Your stitching is amazing. The little bags are perfect. You do such nice work. The little jingle bell is a cute touch.
