Last year Christmas my sister made her son an Advent calendar that was more an excuse for an Advent calendar than anything else. After I pointed this out to her she said "You are the crafty one in the family, so do something about it". She had me cornered there and then !
These are quite a bit of work as I lined them all but they are also good fun and I am so so happy with the end results. Aren't they cute ? My sister asked me to make 4 stockings larger for each Advent Sunday and I think that works well in the overall look.
I used a fat quarter set of the 2011 Christmas collection by Michael Miller which was plenty. I also used it for the lining plus some leftovers of solid white I had lying around.
I posted already a tutorial (here) and templates earlier in the year in case you wish to make one for you family, friend or god children too.

Your sister will be so glad she has to fill all those stockings ...every year! Serves her right for asking! Such a cute way to countdown to Christmas!
Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
