Instructions

  1. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141033 img 4644

    To make your stockings, you'll need a template in the shape of a sock. Feel free to make it as big as you like, depending on how many presents you want to fit inside.

  2. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141037 img 4647

    Fold the fleece in half and pin the paper template on top.

  3. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141041 img 4653

    Cut out two stocking shapes from the red fleece.

  4. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141046 img 4654

    Cut out a small rectangle from felt and a short strip of ribbon to the same width. We'll use these to make a pocket for the front of the stocking to keep our wishlist in.

  5. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141126 img 4670

    Stitch the ribbon to the top of the pocket and then sew around the edges of the pocket onto the front piece of the stocking.

  6. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141116 img 4669

    Cut out sock shapes for the toe, heel and top of the stocking.

  7. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141132 img 4671

    Stitch these pieces in place on the front of the stocking.

  8. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141147 img 4682

    Cut a length of ribbon to make a stocking loop and stitch it to the inside on the back piece of the stocking.

  9. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141157 img 4683

    Place the front and back of the stocking on top of each other and sew around the outline.

  10. Small 112630 2f2015 12 28 141204 img 4655

    Finally iron some patch letters to the front of your stocking to add your name.
