If no one has ever told you before, you are like a giant warm hug. Everything about you feels cozy and wonderful. I just love your videos. I could listen to you talk for days. ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks Kate. I love them. A few years back I made my daughters family a stocking each at her request. I did a letter ornament for each of the people in the family and added them to the stockings. They loved them.
Home made stockings are wonderful. When my three children were small I made stockings for the 5 of us but I made them all the same size so no one would complain that they got a smaller one. They are now all grown and wanted to take their stockings with them when they moved out on their own. At one time we had a dog that found my son's stocking on the floor and when he smelled the candy that was inside he chewed the toe trying to get at it. I offered to make my son a new one, but he didn't want a new one, he wanted the one he had had for as long as he could remember. So I patched it up the best I could and he still uses it today (he's 37 years old). Then they wanted me to make more for their spouses and for each grandchild that came along. It looks like I'm done with stocking making for awhile, or at least until there is another generation! Thanks for showing us yours.
When you held up the Christmas log cabin block, I suddenly was inspired to make a Block-of-the-Month (sort of) with a block for each actual month. Yours would be December naturally, and I could go all through the colors of the landscape in each month. It's for a gift. What fun! Thank you so much for your company, inspiration, and tutorials! A good TH-cam friend indeed. -Sally from MO
I only embriodered names and added bells and trims to bought stockings for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, but if I'd seen your method long ago I'd have rather tried my hand at that. So beautiful and durable and loved. And not too difficult! 🤗💖
I hope that you know, Kate, that there are plenty of people who would be delighted to sew some names in cross stitch for you. The stockings are delightful. Lucky family. I am the lady that accosted you at the NEC when you and Anna had arrived and were making your way to your allotted stand. Apologies for holding you up but it was lovely to meet you both. Best wishes from Northern Ireland x
I'm always tempted to remind Kate that I met her at FoQ as well, but then, she's famous and I'm not, and she must meet so many people!! She's so lovely and authentic! I was terrified is be so eager to meet her and she'd be a shrew!! Not a chance!!! 🤣
From bagmaking, I learned a tip for getting the lining to fit well. Increase the seam allowance by an eighth of an inch on the lining, and it will wrinkle less on the inside.
Oh, of course! Or in other words, if you're used to working with the stitching line, shave 1/8 of an inch / 3 mm off along the lining piece. :-) The principle is called "turn of cloth" in patternmaking, I believe - you do the same on lower collar pieces etc. All to acount for the fact that fabric does have its own bulk, and the "inside" piece will wrinkle and the whole thing will look uneven if you don't account for it. Even facings work better if you account for it (though there are various ways to account for it with more complicated pattern pieces like that). If you have thicker fabric - like a padded piece like here - you may even need to shave off a bit more.
@@beth12svist Interesting information. I just googled "turn of cloth" and read a brief article. It's something I never applied to quilting projects before. Thanks.
❤❤❤greate thanks Kate, it is a easy way for a beginner like me. Your lessions helps me to recicel I had at home from kids clothes to bed wear and my own clothes. It gives me in bad time happines . Thats your wounderfull work for orhers. Your are a christmas star
These stockings for Rita and your new grandchild are beautiful. The fabrics are so lovely. I know they will love them. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day, Kate. ❤😊
Everyone move over so I can get on the lime green sofa.... hello Kate from the heart ❤️ of Illinois USA 🇺🇸...aaawww mommy 🐻 besr, daddy 🐻bear and baby🐻 bear... adorable 😍
Kate, I am home with covid. I haven't turned my TV on since getting sick. Until today, and it popped up you making stockings. You are such a treat to me. Happy Holidays if I don't to watch soon.
Just made a small stocking for my niece for christmas. It was really easy and quick to get it together. I did the sewing on the wadding on an angle and used non-christmasy fabrics so she can use it all year long. Got stuffed with some little crafting supplies I had on hand.
These stockings are so homey and charming! They will be a treasure for years to come as your family grows. Lucky family to have a matriarch who loves to quilt and craft! Thank you for sharing.
Kate, I have been following you for a long time now, and it never ceases to amaze me how natural you are with working with material and your sewing machine, they are part of you it seems! You are truly amazing, and a wonder to watch. I love the way you explain things in such a natural normal way, so us beginners can follow ever step. Bless you, and thank you for sharing your life with us all on here. Love Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
I’ve been making stockings for all of my family members for years. They are the felt, sequins, beads, embroidery stockings. Each one has their name embroidered on them. I have 4 kids and spouses and now 10 grands so I’ve made quite a few. I love to make them. I can sit and watch TV and work on them. Your family will be so happy that they have stockings that you made! They are beautiful! ❤️
The fabrics are beautiful and the stockings look lovely but I couldn't help feel disappointed that the stockings didn't have names on them in keeping with the family tradition. It just didn't seem to fit. Then, at the very end, I see you put Rita on your daughter-in-laws stocking. YES. Now it's complete. I love the way you put the name on. I love them.
Kate, what a beautiful tradition for your family. I love the fabrics you chose for the stockings. I am in the USA but my mum was from Widnes England. Our tradition at Christmas was of course stockings which mum made and mincemeat pies, trifle and jam tarts. Mum is gone but I have carried on that tradition as my daughter and now my granddaughter. I cherish those things❤ as I am sure your family will for years. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family. I believe I have some stockings to make for my great-grand children.
Hi Kate you bought back lovely memories for me years ago l made stockings for my kids and friends l appliquéd their initial on them greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 Debbie
We have our stockings that we fill hanging on the mantle. But I also have a bunch hanging as a timeline: my childhood stocking made by my grandma; my husband’s childhood stocking; each of our young adult stockings; a slipper I tried knitting him when we were dating but I was new and didn’t understand gauge so it turned out stocking size; pretty ones I got for our first married home together; Army ones for the time we were both in the Army together; our daughter’s first stocking. Now I’m knitting one with Arne and Carlos for decoration, and maybe I’ll sew us new ones for the mantle.
I watched this and then made 6 stockings. Everyone loves them. I'm a quilter so this was fun and easy. The way you did the lining made them all so finished and nice.
Lovely project...I made Christmas stockings for my four grandchildren.... This is the first year that 'number 4' will be using his.... I used my embroidery machine to do the names on them as my hands aren't as good as they were but they were lovely.
I am not one to ever covet another’s good, but I believe I broke the 10 th Commandment today. Your Christmas stockings made using the Liberty fabrics are just stunning. I was drooling over your stash of Liberty scraps and that is when I folded and started to covet , on a Sunday . The strip quilting just showcases the beauty of each piece of fabric and I could not help myself. Mea culpa Kate.
That's sweet that he thought enough of the stockings to request one for his wife and your grandson. The stockings are great! LOVE that quilt block for your patrons!!!! I haven't embroidered anything substantial in quite some time but I didn't used to enjoy it.
Toe for tangerine, heel for apple with a half crown coin pushed in, foot for nuts, leg for presents! North Yorkshire in the forties. The nuts and fruit were a big deal at that austerity period.
Those stockings are works of art! I made a plainer stocking for my little one and embroidered the name on the cuff in back stitch before I attached it. It is nowhere near as fancy but they love that Mummy made it and it is hung with excitement every year.
Sweet family traditions are always the best memories! These are adorable and got my creativity flowing. Thanks for sharing these and all the love, too❤
What a wonderful idea to make a quilted Christmas stocking. Just the spur I needed to make a lovely gift for my great-grandson .Can't wait to get on with it !! It wont be as beautiful as yours Kate but its the inspiration you give, Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family.🤩
Darling Stockings! What wonderful Memories will be made each year with them! I didn't have a mantle for many years....I often used a peg hook board in the wall. I also had a coat rack and hung Stockings instead of coats. I recently saw a quilt ladder with Stockings hung on it. I'll bet Owen and his family will find a spectacular way to hang them
Just love watching every post I can see This is so wonderful I am just getting back into sewing again I’m 70 and a lot of disabilities but love to create. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
I loved watching you make these stockings even though it's not something that my husband and I use. We barely give each other gifts, let alone have something to put into stockings, and those are quite large to fill up. OH MY. I really enjoy visiting with you though and wouldn't care if all you did was clean Cat Rita's box and chatted a bit!!!!!!!!!!! just the visit alone fills my soul with warmth. The last few minutes of this video made me smile............letters on the stocking.........NICE touch. KUDOS Kate. Blessings to you.
I wish to goodness that we were closer. I have loved counted cross stitch over the last 40 years. This was the first year I got to do stockings for my son, his wife and my new baby grandson. I did crazy quilt with fancy hand stitches, They took awhile, but I put loads of love in their box. P.S. Kate, I'd do the cross stitch for you and mail it from NM, USA.
What a blessing. I fondly remember my stocking as a child. My grandmother made them for all of us. It was like seeing an old friend when it came out. It did not survive to my adulthood. I never forgot it.
I also remember my Christmas stocking. My mother's sister, my aunt Judy, hand knitted the first of us six kids's stalkings and decorated them. Then my mother learned how from her and knitted the last two. Sadly, mine didn't last very far into adulthood because of a problem with mice and not having put the stocking up correctly😢 yours are so beautiful Kate, I would have never thought to attach them to batting like that and then quilt them. Wonderful idea! Merry Christmas!
Beautiful stockings Kate. I remember making stockings for my sister's family. I make separate name tags that could be attached, allowing each person to choose their own stocking. I realised I'd gone too far when I made bone shaped stockings for their pups. 😂
Hi Kay, those are beautiful really pretty and they don’t need any embroidery. I I am excellent master embroidery. I guess you could call me, but I did it all freehand by machine and I did it for several years and made quite a bit of money at the time I traveled up and down East Coast, and to all the boat shows, and so hats and bread in them right at the show And I had a wonderful time they paid for my hotel and food and it was just a lot of fun My Number all grown up and out of the house at the time so I didn’t have to worry about them and it was nice. Nice way to make a living and now that my eyes are so bad of course I can I can’t do machine embroidery. I’d be running over my fingers, but, I will make some stockings like yours. I think they’re beautiful. I wish I had some liberty.
Lovely stockings. I just finished two quilts and three pillow cases. My sewing machine is idle….stockings will be next up….love your style with lining. I still have knitted stockings a coworker made for my boys 46 years ago with their names on them. They are both coming for Christmas this year and I plan to give them their original stockings. I will make your pattern for their wives and grandchildren. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family. Blessings, Dawn
Wonderful. Kate I just love the Christmas stockings. I made advent calendars for my grandchildren this year but you have inspired me to make them stockings . Thanks Kate. I always love your videos Calming and enjoyably
These are absolutely lovely! There is another lady who makes beautiful stockings, pot holders, coasters, and quilts using fabric scraps like you. Her name is Beth and her TH-cam channel is My Sewing Room. Sometimes you mention other quilters, so I hope you don't mind me mentioning her. I know your family kiddos will love these as they are made by you and are so pretty. Thanks!
Dear Kate, I do so love your how to videos and the music and your voice is soooo relaxing! I made stockings for multiple grandchildren this year and cut letters from felt and straight stitched to top width or long length of stocking after quilting it. I have no wish to do any embroidery or stitching, too impatient for that! Thank you for your time and happy Christmas.
So beautiful stockings, you've made, Kate! Nothing more satisfying than (adult) children asking for handmade things. I love, that Owen want you to continue the tradition. My daughter asked me to make a Christmas stocking for my grandchild last year - also with embroidery. To me the difficult part was the sewing, but I managed 🙂. I have to do it again next year, as my daughter is pregnant with my second grandchild, and now I'm looking forward to it. Next time I'll try with wadding too.
If no one has ever told you before, you are like a giant warm hug. Everything about you feels cozy and wonderful. I just love your videos. I could listen to you talk for days. ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
That is a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much! xxx
Just a lovely gift to our parents ❤

I have made Christmas stockings for My kids and grandchildren and Even for service men with a group and filled with cards and goodies. So enjoyed it.
I love the world that you have created for yourself and by extension for all of us...thank you Kate!
Another grandbaby! Well, congratulations!
I only embriodered names and added bells and trims to bought stockings for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, but if I'd seen your method long ago I'd have rather tried my hand at that. So beautiful and durable and loved. And not too difficult! 🤗💖

So many lovely offers of stitching coming in! I solved the dilemma in the end! did you see? You didn't hold us up - we loved meeting people! xxx
nah! I'm not famous - I'm just doing what everyone else on The Lime Green Sofa does - I just turn a camera on! It was lovely to meet you! xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I'm glad you turned a camera on, and that you have such a large sofa. It's very comfie on it. 🥰
I was thinking the same thing!
A lovely idea for a Christmas stocking. 🇬🇧
Thank you Kate
You truly are delightful!
Of course John’s is the biggest stocking ever so pretty we are having a snow storm today so home now knitting and watching you Newfoundland brrrrrr
Beautiful, Kate!
Lovely and so very special to the recipients❤

Beautiful. ❤❤❤❤
Made with love!
Oh! Is Owen the son who lived in Canada? He's back close to you again? That's wonderful!
We call that “cross-stitch” and it is a very handy stitch.
Love my Christmas box!
That's sweet that he thought enough of the stockings to request one for his wife and your grandson. The stockings are great! LOVE that quilt block for your patrons!!!! I haven't embroidered anything substantial in quite some time but I didn't used to enjoy it.
Owen loved his Nana and Grandad very much xxx
The toe is for the tangerine when I was growing up and I continued that with my kids.
Me too, with the tangerines
Me it was whole walnuts and oranges
Toe for tangerine, heel for apple with a half crown coin pushed in, foot for nuts, leg for presents! North Yorkshire in the forties. The nuts and fruit were a big deal at that austerity period.
How sweet of you to keep your loved ones' Christmas stockings. This is a family story...

Beautiful stockings Kate. I remember making stockings for my sister's family. I make separate name tags that could be attached, allowing each person to choose their own stocking. I realised I'd gone too far when I made bone shaped stockings for their pups. 😂
ah - dog stockings? that aint happening here!! xxxx well done though!
Lovely to watch! ❤
Hi Kay, those are beautiful really pretty and they don’t need any embroidery. I I am excellent master embroidery.

Lovely fabric for stockings.

Love that stocking. Amazed by you're iron.😂
😊Kate I love your Christmas Stockings very very nice
Our kitten Timothy, really enjoyed watching this episode.
They will enjoy the stocking just because you made them! It's very evident they are made with love.
These are absolutely lovely! There is another lady who makes beautiful stockings, pot holders, coasters, and quilts using fabric scraps like you.

Beautiful stockinhs Kate🤩❤️

So lovely....carrying on your wonderful family memories xxx Greetings from Amsterdam xxx
You could add a cross stich embroidery band at a future year. Wonderful way yo wake up is to have a visit with my friends.
Beautiful, Kate! I would like to start a tradition such as that! I wish I could embroider like your mum!
Oooohhhhhh, Kate, I love that red Log Cabin block with the green. So beautiful!😊❤🌲🎀
Beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial.
