Holiday Stockings Three Ways 06:39
Introduction
We made a classic stocking and gave it a modern twist with the use of polka-dotted felt.
Step 1
Create Pattern and Trace
Create a pattern to get the exact shape you want. Draw a stocking shape on brown craft paper or a paper bag then cut it out.
Fold the burlap fabric in half, pretty-side to pretty-side and place the stocking paper pattern on top. Trace the pattern onto the fabric using the fabric pen.
Step 2
Cut Fabric
Remove the pattern and pin the fabric together. Cut out the stocking shape through both layers.
Step 3
Sew Two Sides Together
Sew a half-inch seam around the edge of the stocking, leaving the top open. Remember to back stich at the beginning and the end.
Step 4
Cut Cuff Fabric
Cut a rectangle of the cuff fabric that’s twice the width of the inside-out stocking and twice as wide as you want it to be, plus an extra inch for the seams.
Step 5
Sew Cuff
Fold the cuff pretty-side to pretty-side so the short ends touch. Sew a half-inch seam, then flip it in half right-side-out so that you have a cuff that’s the width you want and is pretty on both sides.
Step 6
Attach Stocking to Cuff
Slip the cuff around the outside of the inside-out stocking with the folded edge down and the rough edges lining up around the opening. Sew all the way around the opening.
Step 7
Add a Loop
Create a loop to hang the stocking with a two-inch piece of ribbon. Glue it the loop onto the inside of the stocking.
Step 8
Finish It Up
Flip the stocking right-side-out and fold down the cuff.
