We have a huge selection of Christmas fabrics! While checking out all those cute designs in our Xmas products category, we naturally got the urge to look for some holiday projects with fabrics. Then we thought that newcomers to fabric crafting, sewing and quilting would most likely benefit from a quick peek at really easy projects that require just a little time and skill to succeed, so here we go: what could be easier to make than some decorative Christmas stockings?
The sewing pattern and process for making a very simple Xmas stocking is a real breeze: you just have to draw a stocking of the desired size, and its mirror image. There is your basic pattern! Once the chosen fabric is cut, you will have the 2 halves that make out a stocking: just baste the borders, turn it inside out, and sew carefully a solid enough seam. Your basic Christmas stocking is done!
As a way of inspiring you, here are some images of cute Xmas stocking designs that we found on Pinterest. Most of the items include a decorative band around the top, where you can add the recipient’s name –but you can also tie a nice tree tag or star-shaped tag to your stocking for that 😉 Of course, many use fabrics with traditional Christmas motifs, but we found some pictures with cute dots and stripes patterns too. And you can get really creative once you master the basics!! Aren’t these images adorable?
