-
Cut the shapes out and trace onto felt with a white fabric pencil. Cut out all of your shapes - two of the stocking and two of the stocking "cuff."
-
For a decorative edge, I cut the bottom edge of the "cuff" with scalloped scissors (pictured). You can also try pinking shears.
-
Lay out your felt pieces.
-
Begin sewing the details (holly & berries) onto the cuff. Use embroidery floss in a matching or contrasting color.
-
Sew the 2 stocking pieces together using the blanket stitch.
Start by bringing the needle up through just one of the layers of fabric. -
Poke the needle down into the fabric, right next to your previous stitch. This stitch should go through BOTH layers of fabric. You will be left with a small loop of floss, leave it a bit loose (in the shape of an arc).
-
Stitch the needle right through the center of the loop and pull tight. Start again by poking the needle back down through the fabric, next to your previous stitch.
-
This is what your blanket stitch should look like:
-
After you finish stitching the stocking, stitch the two sides of the cuff together:
-
Now, blanket stitch the top of the cuff to the top of the stocking. While you're at it, stitch a loop of ribbon or rickrack into the corner of the stocking for hanging.
-
Fill with goodies and hang on your tree!
