What you will need:
- Fabric (why not choose two designs from our range of Christmas stocking fabrics, one for the front of the stock and one for the lining)
- Stocking stencil
- Scissors
- Pins
- Fabric pens
- Sewing Machine
- Ribbon for hanging
Step One
First create your stencil from paper and lay on your chosen fabrics. Pin the stocking stencil to the fabric and cut a left and a right side for each design. You will have four stocking-shaped pieces.
Step Two
Now you will need to match a lining piece to a front piece, so right sides are facing each other and pin along the top. Using a sewing machine, sew along the top and press the seams. Repeat with other two pieces.
Step Three
Next, you will need to sew these two pieces together, ensuring both designs match up and are aligned. Lay one piece on top of the other, right sides facing, and pin all the way around your stocking pieces leaving a 10cm gap for turning around the right way.
Step Four
Now using the 10cm gap you left when sewing, turn the stocking around the correct way. Fold in the slit that you made and stitch together using a sewing machine.
Step Five
Finally, you will need to take the lining side of your stocking and feed it through to the other side of the stocking. For the finishing touches, fold over the top of your stocking so you have a contrast trim, and stitch a piece of ribbon into the corner so it hangs proudly on the fireplace.
