Every year Julia gives you the chance to win a homemade something during Advent. I’m sure it will be better than my sewing (see last year’s stocking below) so pop on over and join in!

Ages ago I came across a cute tutorial to make these elf clogs and it has taken my years to actually make them. However this weekend we were off to visit an aunt and I always make her something for Christmas. So I thought it was time I tackled this little project.
