How to make up the stocking
1
Using the stocking outline
from the chart as a guide, draw
around stocking, leaving a 1cm
(½in) border of fabric as a seam
allowance along the sides and
bottom and an 8cm (3in) border at
the top. Cut out along this line.
2
Use your stitched piece as a
template, cut out a piece of
backing fabric and two pieces of
lining fabric the same size.
3
With right sides together, pin
one of the lining pieces to the
stitched pieces, along the top edge
only. Sew in place with a 1cm (½in)
seam allowance. Press the seam
open, then lay the panel out flat on
the table, right sides facing up. This
is now called panel A.
4
Pin and sew the other lining
piece to the backing fabric
in the same way, with right sides
together. Lay this panel out flat on
the table. This is now panel B.
5
Lay panel A on top of panel B so
that the right sides are facing.
Pin around the edge using a 1cm
(½in) seam allowance, leaving
a gap on the straight edge for
turning through.
6
Trim and clip notches into the
curves to allow the stocking to
lie flat. Turn the stocking through
and slip stitch the gap closed.
7
Tuck the lining down into the
stocking, smoothing out the
corners. Iron flat then sew on a loop
of ribbon for hanging.
