  • Let's make a Christmas stocking!
    In this tutorial I walk you through all the steps needed to make your own, fully-lined Christmas stocking complete with a loop for hanging. This Christmas stocking is a great beginner project because it doesn't take long to make and is completely customizable. You can make the stocking any size you want and embellish it in a million different ways with all kinds of patchwork, trims, ribbons, buttons, etc.

    Great tut. in my mind this is how I thought it would, just needed a visual! I plan to make about 30 of these, fill them up so my son and I can donate them to a kids shelter in our town. Happy Holidays!

    If you live in the US you can get it at any grocery store. It's usually by the aluminum foil. I usually can find the Reynolds brand. Good luck!

    Thank you so much for posting this. I want to go to Spain next year to walk the el Camino Road to Santiago de Compostela, and need to raise $4,000. That's mainly for airfare. I am old, and I've wanted to do this since I was in my 20's when I ran and was still in ballet and worked out, etc. -- I am 61 now, and if I can raise the funds, I will be 62 the month I go. I sew, but I am not an expert by any means. I can, however, sew a straight line and make ruffles. Your tutorial was so easy to follow and I am going now to my machine -- my Brother, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE and try my hand at making one -- Blessings to you and your family at the beginning of this season of peace and love -- much appreciation and best regards, Patricia

    I was able to use your tutorial today for a stocking with an Aida cuff for cross stitching. I tried a different way for the cuff, too bulky. The way you attach the cuff is so much easier, I added binding to the bottom of the Aida fabric to have a border. I’m a happy camper today.

    You mean the batting? Then the stocking may look a little flimsy. You can try fusing some lightweight interfacing to your fabrics instead to help add a little extra body. Good luck!

  • @cindygaudet1390
    @cindygaudet1390 5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @TheCraftyGemini
    @TheCraftyGemini  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can do that but the lining won't hang loosely inside the stocking.It's also done so that the top edge is pulled in towards the stocking and you don't have any exposed seam edges. But I'm sure the other way would work.. I just like the finished look using this method better.

    Enjoyed watching a video on the subject that finally made sense to me ! Your demonstrations are clear and to the point.. very professional. You clearly explain and demonstrate each step. You do not ramble on. Keep up the great work ! Do you know how to do a stocking with a loose cuff ? A cuff not sewn on to the outside of the socking but only sewn to the lining? I would appreciate a demo on that type of cuff. Thank you !

    I sew a lot and I enjoyed this tutorial, but I am using fleece and the batting won't be necessary using fleece as it would make it too thick. If you are using cotton, that's a little different. Also, to make the cuff, make the stocking longer, follow the sewing directions with the lining space to turn the stocking inside out. When you have done that, make a real cuff at the top, tack it down by handsewing it and hand sew the tie loop to the back. It's my version of it and I think it takes less time. Since I am looking to make about 10 of these, it seems like the streamlined way to go. This visual was helpful and even with my own modifications, I appreciated this as well. Oh, just love that mini iron. Wow where did you find that? I could really use one.
