I love how they turned out. Now, I just have 4 more to go!
Cut out a stocking pattern (I just traced around a stocking I already had)
Double your fabric, put your stocking pattern on top and cut out 2 stockings
Do the same thing with your lining for your stocking
Sew your stocking right sides together using 1/2 inch seams down both sides and around bottom.
Now.. I used this youtube video to put it all together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-25luiSNhE
She does a wonderful job of explaining how to put it together. Just remember that because you are using a quilted piece, you DO need to pin it down before you sew around. All the seams make it a little harder to sew without pinning. Good luck and let me know if you make any! Thanks!
Love them!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol.. You know me.. I don't want anything to go to waste. I love to recycle and repurpose!
DeleteAnother great idea! Love them. I found some quilt pieces when we were going through some of Mom's things. I also found some old potato sacks. Been wondering what to do with them.
