I realized this year that we only have 3 stockings, and there are 4 of us. Considering that our stockings were old, came from Dollar General, and falling apart, I knew there was no way to find another one that matched the ones we had. Which left me with two options: a) make some out of cute Christmas fabric, or b) buy some of those ugly fuzzy ones from Walmart. I think you can guess which option I chose. π
I used the pattern from FabricWorm, and the assembly tutorial from Megan Neilsen’s blog. Well, kinda. I used some fleece from my stash to line only one side of my stocking (two layers seemed too bulky), and used the same fleece (it’s white) to make the cuff. I had some off white satin ribbon from who-knows-what laying on the floor of my sewing room, so I sewed it in half and used it for the hanging loop.
I think they turned out pretty stinkin’ cute. π

Very cute stockings! I made my girls stockings when they were little and they come out each Christmas still. Such a lovely family tradition so that I think I’ll make some for future small fry as time passes.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas π

Thank you! We had a lovely Christmas, but I’m still glad it’s over. sigh I hope yours went well also!
I think they will get a lot of use, and it will be fairly easy to add another stocking should the need ever arise (pray that it doesn’t!)
