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.

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.
