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.
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.
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.
