Sew an Easy Christmas Stocking

The first step to sew an easy Christmas stocking is to draw a pattern. On a piece of cardstock draw a mini stocking. Use a pencil and experiment until you get the size you'd like. Don't make it too small or skinny or it will be hard to sew. Use your pattern to cut out your material. You'll need two for each stocking.

sewing tip If you want to know how to sew larger Christmas stockings, just make your pattern larger or use an old stocking for your pattern. Cut out of material desired, follow the sewing instructions below and decorate as you'd like.

Now your mini stockings are sewn and you are ready to decorate. Decorate with pom poms, jingle bells, ribbon, buttons, whatever embellishments you can find or want to use.

Use these as tree decorations or fill with little presents. Make a garland of stockings by using 4 or 5 mini stockings and attaching them to a ribbon.
