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 Christmas stocking
pattern to cut out your
material. You'll need two for each stocking.

How to Sew Christmas Stockings
If
you want to know how to sew Christmas stockings that are larger, make
your pattern bigger or use an old stocking for your pattern. Lay your
pattern out on the material desired, follow the sewing instructions
below and
decorate as you'd like.

Place two stockings right sides together. Sew around edges leaving top
open.

Turn edge ½ inch down and hem in place.

Turn right side out. Cut a strip of ribbon and pin in place. Sew to
make a ribbon loop for hanging.


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.
~Now that you've practiced with smaller stockings it is easy to sew
Christmas stockings of any size.
